Yup -- in 2.x (or whatever we call the Next Generation, this summer),
non-text datatypes will be represented iconically and one will be able
to save to file, print (if possible), pipe through external viewer,
display with default mechanism, reload over the network, or whatever,
through the GUI. This will be part of the MIME support also. And the
WYSIWYG editing. (Promises promises.)
Cheers,
