<para xml:id="p1">The story so far…</para>

<para xml:id="p2">In December, I made an
<link xlink:href="http://norman.walsh.name/2004/12/07/webarchPdf">offhand
remark</link> about CSS.
<personname>
      <firstname>Håkon Wium</firstname>

and <personname>

<link xlink:href="http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/01/19/print.html">replied</link>
on <link xlink:href="http://www.xml.com/">XML.com</link>.
Yesterday, XML.com published
<link xlink:href="http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/02/09/cssorxsl.html">my
rebuttal</link>. If you read anything online about XML, this is
probably not news, but it seemed odd not to mention it here.
</para>

<para xml:id="p3">Speaking of news, publication of Lie and Day's article marked
the first time
<link xlink:href="http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/01/20/1424220&amp;tid=95&amp;tid=185&amp;tid=8">I was slashdotted</link>.
Does it show?</para>

<gal:photo rdf:resource="images/hitsperday"/>

<para xml:id="p4">Of course, that only reflects the number of
<emphasis>successful</emphasis> retrievals. My bandwidth was saturated
for a while, so there's no telling how many attempts failed. Or whether
the continuing debate is worth slashdotting again.</para>
