Done.

The goal of a new paper-preparation and display system should, however, be to 
be better than what is currently available.  Most HTML-based solutions do not 
exploit the benefits of HTML, strangely enough.

Consider, for example, citation links.  They generally jump you to the 
references section.  They should instead pop up the reference, as is done in 
Wikipedia.

Similarly for links to figures.  Instead of blindly jumping to the figure, 
they should do something better, perhaps popping up the figure or, if the 
figure is already visible, just highlighting it.

I have put in both of these as issues.
