Well, if we supported style-sheets in documents, we could come close. (See:

I'm pretty convinced that we will not be able to provide anything the
publisher really can use until we can offer them control over presentation.

Every publisher I have dog and ponied Mosaic to has loved it ... until I
resize the window or change the font -- at which point they run screaming
and shouting out the door, never to be seen again. (Well, not quite that
bad, but you get the idea.)
