Libraries

• Spice style sheets support interoperability by decoupling flow objects from their implementations.
• A Spice library (aka spice rack) names a set of flow objects with support for particular style properties.
• Each library is identified by a URL.
• The import statement is used to import flow objects from libraries, e.g.

   import document, block, inline from "http://www.w3.org/Style/std.lib";

• The implements statement is used to specify implementations for particular libraries, e.g.

   "css.spice" implements "http://www.w3.org/Style/std.lib" on "Spice";
   "css.jar" implements "http://www.w3.org/Style/std.lib" on "Java";
   "css.cab" implements "http://www.w3.org/Style/std.lib" on "ActiveX/win32";
