Michael, thank you for your courteous and informative response. Of 
course I agree that NS had to be designed around CSS from the start - 
I was just a little surprised that some (a rather inconsistent subset) 
of the "html presentational hints" had been ignored, but as you say 
development is dependent on what people are motivated to tackle. I 
hope that it will be possible for someone to have a look at these 
aspects in due course. Unless my circumstances change significantly 
I'm afraid that I won't be able to get involved in sufficient depth.

Richard
