A tag to directly control the display of a page is illegal ccordining to
HTML and SGML. So instead, howow about proposing an <ANSWER></ANSWER> tag.
This would tell the browser to hide it, until the user wants see it. The
browser could perform this hiding in many ways. A browser could display it
as a blank box, which the user would click on to see whats "underneath."
This tag woube legal, I think. It tells the browser what type of an element
it is (an answer), and wouldn't tell the browser how to display it.
