First of all, I claim that WYSIWYG has issues of its own. Please do read [1]. I admit, that this text is very old but the key points are still valid. Most people I know who know WYSIWYG *and* their alternatives are not always very happy with using WYSIWYG. So why follow this path which is know to be faulty? It's not faulty. It's imperfect. The other points are just jobs to be done. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
