This is a big point in favor of the proposal I never though of in the first
place! Now instead of having
<H1 ALIGN=center><IMG SRC="images/ablogo.gif" ALT="The Alphabeton - the
definitive guide to greek-enabled computing"></H1>
I could have
<SPAN STYLE="altimage: url(images/ablogo.gif) ; align: center">
<H1>The <BIG>Alphabeton</BIG><BR><SMALL>The <EM>definitive</EM> guide to
greek-enabled computing</SMALL></H1>
(looking back, I probably wouldn't be using BIG and SMALL if I was using
stylesheets, but the EMs alone show where I'm getting at)
PS: no this page is not ready yet, though I am working on it :-)
