I am not sure what Sebastian had in mind, but it is a fantasy world where
more than a handful of people use *ML at all, and a fantasy world where this
does something suitable for WWW viewing and simpler types of printing
just IMHO, of course.

By the way, Chuck Bigelow once ran a contest for the stupidest remark on

where not at all pleased...
