Another way to label things and might lead to a better understanding.
* producer: human, authoring tools, scripting libraries, etc.
* consumer: human, browser renderer, search engines, scripting

Amaya and NVU still do both.
When we say browsers, most of the time, we talk about the renderer
part of it.
