Re: printer tags for html 3.x

Its also presentation and not content... why should such entities
exist?

Just for the note, since when are your form feeds the best?  I hate
every author who uses a "plain text" document format and embeds form
feeds, thinking this is where my paper ends, so does every one elses...
 mine doesn't (mine is also 13 inches wide, is yours?)
