Haven't these features been discussed and dismissed on this list before?
One more time:
>Page break
Page breaks are impractical, because the page designer cannot know the
size of the user's page. These are best handled by a more intelligent
browser, or through style sheets.
>Include tag
An include tag can't include HTML fragments, because that can easily cause
the whole document to be invalid code. Instead, bug the software company to
implement <OBJECT DATA="..." TYPE="text/html"> properly in the browser.
>Netscape frames
Netscape's frames design is very poorly conceived. The idea could (and
should) be implemented in a much better fashion, if at all.
>Hide/block source
Impossible. Even if you could convince a browser to refuse to display the
source of a document, it still exists in the user's disk cache. Also, older
browser versions will still show the source. A crafty user may even telnet to
the HTTP port and send a request manually to get the HTML source.
>ALTURL/ALTSRC
It seems that this would be better handled by higher level addressing
schemes, because why should you be stuck with only two alternatives?

Some lead. Others follow. I'm lost.
