The stylesheet proposal for ASCII art of Charles McCathieNevile
has the problem that it relies on support for style sheets.
A user that does not use the authors stylesheet will get
the ascii-art.
When someone thinks how to do something, always write the HTML
under the assumption that there is no stylesheet.
Stylesheets only _improve_ presentation.
The only accessible way to include ascii art
is to make it optional. (e.g., give a link indicating
that the linked resource contains ascii art.)
(Also PRE cannot be included in a P, but this can be fixed)
