Oh, and >throw in the moon, while you're at it! Quite! Perhaps what we really need a low-bandwidth, graphical rendering standard. Then we can simply render the document as we see fit, and we get greater protection for content into the bargain (people would have to reassemble a document from the rendering stream to be able to steal it) ;-) Seriously though, there are problems to be solved, and I cannot see a truly universal solution being possible without major surgery.
