There are postscript viewers at least that can be fired off by Mosaic or
perhaps even Netscape (I haven't tested this). HTML can't play all things
to all people - all it can do is provide a methodology for including
simple formatting information in documents. Browsers then render these
documents according to their own rules.

I think it was Oscar Wilde who said that selfishness is not doing what you
want, it's demanding of others that they do what you want.
