It seems like a step backwards to me. We've come too far in the right
direction to put all of this formatting back in the HTML documents. This is
just bigger and better formatting hints. It is marginally better than
Netscape's tags, but it still isn't moving us in the direction we want to go
in the long run. We have to start migrating a user community and vendor
community.
