In fact, I'll use it for a certain documentation-intensive project I'm working on. I'd also propose pseudo-standardizing the "colophon" class for HTML divisions, which would contain technical and other notes about the formal construction of the site. Its display property would generally be set to "none" initially, but users could choose to view it by setting its display property to "block", and perhaps its position to 0,0 in a personal stylesheet. Of course, there'd need to be a UI for this, as suggested in the CSS1 Recommendation. I'm at least mildly excited by the likelihood that the free Netscape source will result in less "passive" user interfaces. __________________ Todd Fahrner mailto:fahrner@pobox.com
