NCSA Mosaic for Windows does something like this.

isn't this more of a browser function?

"B", definitely "B"!  

The more stuff in HTML, the harder it becomes to implement, 
and the less-guarantee you have of buying software that 
actually supports it.  For example, those browsers that say 
they support HTML 3.  Things like <UL plain> don't work in 
them, but they still can say they support it because it's 
not finalized.  One in particular doesn't even support <U>!!!!
