I suppose so, yes.

OK, I can manage that.

I realise there are things like this that I won't catch, but I think I
can live with documenting those as limitations.  The idea is simply to
let people use a familiar format and tools, not to support arbitrary
existing web pages.  For example, pages will have to fit on the screen
rather than being scrollable, and if I'm not mistaken there will be a
limit of 36 links per page.
