A method, system, and computer-readable code for dynamically determining the most appropriate location for applying style sheets. The style sheets may be applied on a server (and/or Web proxy), or on a client, or when multiple style sheets are to be applied, some may be applied at the server while others are applied at the client. Application at the client depends on the capabilities of the client device. If the client device cannot apply style sheets, then they are applied at the server, and the resulting document is sent to the client; otherwise, the document may be sent to the client, where the client will perform the application process. Optionally, the document may be trimmed before it is sent to the client, using a style sheet preprocessing technique. General-purpose style sheets may be leveraged advantageously where a device-specific style sheet is not available, increasing the applicability of such style sheets. The style sheets may be encoded in Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL), or any other style sheet language having equivalent semantics.

Apparatus as set forth in claim 2 wherein the tamp is slotted in the direction of elongation of the tamp and wherein the guide is provided with indications in the direction of the elongation of the guide at positions corresponding to the position of the slot in the tamp to indicate the displacement of the guide relative to the tamp in the direction of elongation of the guide and wherein the indications on the guide in the direction of elongation of the guide are at positions on the guide above the collar on the guide and wherein a handle is attached to the tamp at the upper end of the tamp and is provided with a cap at the upper end of the handle to receive forces for driving the tamp and the guide into the hollow cavity in the femur. 8. Apparatus as set forth in claim 7 wherein the tamp is one of a plurality of tamps and the guide is one of a plurality of guides each having a particular length and each shaped to extend into an individual one of the tamps and each having a collar at an intermediate position in the direction of the elongation of the guide, the portion of the guide below the collar in the guide being different for each of the guides in the plurality, the collar in each of the guides extending outwardly from the guide in a direction transverse to the direction of elongation of the guide and being dimensioned for disposition in the socket in the individual one of the tamps. 9. In a combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein the socket in the tamp fits on the collar on the guide in a push fit relationship with the collar on the guide to move the guide in accordance with the movement of the tamp. 10. In combination, a femur having a hollow cavity defined in a direction of elongation by internal walls in the femur, and bone particles disposed in the hollow cavity, an elongated tamp disposed in the hollow cavity in the femur, the tamp having an opening extending in the direction of elongation of the femur and having a socket at a particular position in the opening, and an elongated guide having characteristics for disposition in the tamp, the guide having, at an intermediate position in the guide, a collar extending outwardly in a direction transverse to the direction of elongation in the guide, the guide having a working portion which extends into the hollow cavity in the femur at positions below the collar in the guide, the collar being disposed relative to the socket in the tamp to provide for the packing of the bone fragments at progressive positions in the direction of the elongation of the working portion of the guide. 11. In a combination as set forth in claim 10, the guide constituting one of a plurality of guides, and the tamp constituting one of a plurality of tamps, each of the guides being associated with an individual one of the tamps, the working portion in each of the guides extending into the hollow cavity in the femur at positions below the associated one of the tamps, and the distance of the extension of the working portion of each of the guides into the cavity in the femur from the collar on the individual one of the tamps being different than the distance for the extension into the femur cavity of the working portions of the other ones of the guides in the plurality. 12. In a combination as set forth in claim 11, the extension of the working portion of each of the guides from the tamp into the cavity in the femur conforming substantially in shape to the shape of the cavity in the femur. 13. In a combination as set forth in claim 11 wherein the tamp has a slot which extends in the direction of the elongation of the femur and wherein indica tions are provided on each of the guides at positions corresponding substantially to the position of the slot in the tamp to provide for a visual indication of the disposition of the guide in the elongated direction in the cavity in the femur. 14. In a combination as set forth in claim 10, the socket on the tamp being disposed on the collar on the guide in a push fit relationship with the collar on the guide. 15. Apparatus as set forth in claim 14, including, the tamp and the guide being constructed to be driven into the cavity to pack the bone fragments below the socket against the inner wall defining the cavity in the femur. 16. Apparatus as set forth in claim 14 wherein the tamp has a detent portion at its upper end to be force driven into the cavity in the femur and to carry the guide into the cavity in accordance with the movement of the tamp into the cavity for providing a packing by the guide of the bone fragments against the inner wall of the cavity. 17. Apparatus as set forth in claim 14 wherein the portion of the guide below the socket in the tamp is bulbous to provide for a packing of the bone fragments against the wall defining the cavity in the femur. 18. Apparatus for use with a femur in a hip replacement where the femur has a hollow cavity defined as an inner wall in the femur and where bone particles are implantable in the hollow cavity in the femur, including a tamp constructed to be disposed in the hollow cavity in the femur and having an opening and a socket at a position near the bottom of the opening in the tamp, and a guide constructed to be disposed in the opening in the tamp and to be disposed in a coupled relationship with the socket in the tamp and having a working portion which extends below the socket in the tamp with a configuration dependent upon the configuration of the cavity in the femur, and a collar extending outwardly in a direction transverse to the direction of elongation in the guide. 19.
