for the record, my proposals were centered on desperately trying to
avoid spewing html from scheme (that is, avoiding having any html
embedded in scheme code).

Well, i've heard that gtkhtml has a mini-html-editor built into it.
Is this true? If so, does it support the creation & arrangement of new
panes?
In my vision of an ideal world, the user could take some standard report,
and then click-n-drag thier way to a custom report: change fonts,
reposition columns, change column labels, etc. and do all of that
using some familiar gui (e.g. abiword, or some mini-html-editor).
This would work only if the report was designed mostly in the native
format of the editor (e.g. some docbook-like thing for abiword) and the
gnucash report generator splatted actual numeric values into that.
I suspect it requires tinkering with some abiword code to make it right.
It also adds a whole nother layer of dependency. Yuck.
