Thank you for your enlightening and persuasive editorial comments on
the future of building high-integrity Web documents. ;-)

Get a clue. Think ahead a little. Information is too valuable to trust
to hacked systems. We need to get this right. We don't have to build a
whole HyTime system to write HyTime compliant documents. Hacked up
tools are fine, as long as the data is compliant with a well-defined
formalism. If we develop HyTime compliant docs now, and full-blown
HyTime systems come along, we will have all our valuable information
ready to use.
