Richard Koman and Ryan Bernard both seem to be proposing that HTML be extended to make it better at displaying graphics produced from nonHTML source. This is precisely what is needed to implement my proposal for a quick implementation of a TeX/LaTeX based system for producing Web-able hypertext documents. So, we are having an agreement on that. There seems to be disagreement about whether we also need something more--namely, a new, wonderful HTML standard for scientific documents. I propose that we defer any decision about that, and try to get what we agree upon done quickly. Adopting Acrobat as a standard for embedded graphics in HTML documents may be a reasonable way to proceed. I know hardly anything about Acrobat. The relevant question seems to be: How much work is it to convert a program that now produces Postscript to one that produces Acrobat? Leslie Lamport
