Sebastian and I go way back (though nothing to do with marriage) but I thought it was obvious that I was telling him a lier for his claim that I shout in private. he is right though about one point: I'm very much interested in concepts and algorithms for high quality typesetting and think that TeX is a good basis to actually explore them. Strangely enough a lot of people still turn to it (LaTeX) when it comes to formatting XML and other documents. frank
