- Absolutely. Pei's latest Viola allows ffor example a LISTING section to
- be viewed as an embedded scrollable region. There is nothing rendering-centric
- in HTML.

- Those who have been interested in it have aired their views on this list.
- Theer haven't been many concrete suggestions for different elements
- (except for a fixed width format which allows embedded anchors).
-
- Dan has done a lot of work cleaning it up.
- I would like to see separate header and body sections,
- so that document-wide info like the title, author, can be found easily
- before the body. Of course, if one uses MIME, ther is the
- mail header with From: and Subject: fields.
- which could be used fro the header, i.e. take teh header out of the
- HTML.
