Well, that's two now, so I must not have made it clear that I was only
talking about priorities. I certainly didn't mean to imply that
presentation features should be ignored. My little piece was about
priorities, not about the absolute value of either navigability or
presentation.

Please, folks, don't attribute to me this idea that presentation features
are unimportant. I didn't mean to imply that, nor do I want to precipitate
flames on that subject. Let's stick to the issue of priorities.
