I think the latter is a rather useful idea, though it is not an alternative for the classification scheme under discussion here. I suggest that authors for future submission to CTAN should be encouraged to include a small (!) example with their contribution in .dvi format (because it's small), and in .ps or .pdf only if a) it is essential to have nonstandard fonts or included graphics in the example b) The documentation is of general interest for people who have not yet installed TeX and a .dvi previewer. This way one can get a more detailed impression of the capabilities of a package without the usual download-unzip-install-run-view cyle. (I think .ps and .pdf are sufficiently similar for this purpose to not get into a war between the two.) Anyway, this is orthogonal to a consistent classification, and in my opinion of lesser importance. Marcel
