Sometimes there seems to be an interesting dichotomy growing with regard to
presentation. There exists a noble wish to restrict HTML to primarily a
logical markup language. Those who wish control over presentation are often
pointed towards an external format such as PDF, or reduced to having to use
bitmapped images. Yet, it seems that such a solution is the worst possible
solution since we lose all logical markup (and most presentation control for
the user). It seems that an early appearance of style sheets (and HTML 3.0)
is our only hope. (Will MCom be the savior? They certainly appear to be in
the strongest position right now.)
(I also seem to recall that a year ago the HTML spec gave suggestions for
how the browser might display the elements. This seems to have been lost
in the specs that have appeared since.)
Just what I think I see,
