probably latex's fault.

i agree (with whichever of my colleagues it was) about the odd nature of
your comparison of latex 3 with plain tex.
what is it you have against numeric arguments? i've never bothered
about it until the last weekend when i came across your complaints while
catching up with my mail.

i don't like it either; i suggested to jonathan kew that it ought to be
possible to do better, but he reckons it's no more changeable than the
ghastly tex and latex logos.

you might try spelling nicola's name right -- i read it as a masculine
name before i realised who you're talking about. the fact is that there
are myriad latex guides, tutorials and the like, on the web. that you
can only think of a couple that are missing is pretty remarkable, imo.
i must get back to my latex-leaning documentation work...
it would be nice to find people with the skills and the money to build
something as good as context-garden, for latex. beyond me, for sure :-(
