Thanks for the context and your thoughts.

I really do appreciate that Carl has *much* better things to than futz with
any html. I respect him enormously  no matter I agree or not. But with his
skills I'd like to think that 1 hour or less could transform that page into
something much more useful for many people. And rebol.org is a terrific
resource and going definitely in the healthy direction. thank you.

Cross-browser html is a nightmare and an expensive time-sink for about 10
years now.
However I also remember c.1995 how one could embed non-formatting tags in
html to do cool things.
CSS is a good way to go. The tragedy of so many current presentation
technologies is how they throw away the valuable semantic data that has been
put in at *the source* when it is much easier to filter for presentation.

I'd argue that benefit of adding even a few tags easily justifies  the
number of people possibly lost by that. But as you point out any of us with
skill and time could take a  sample AltME session block and parse up
intelligently ,  then submit to Carl.S

Relatively,  Rebol's web presence is weak and its community small so time is
very precious, but so too is the need for wider access to encourage new
users and web visitors. I guess the irony is that rebol is really an
alternative information space from the web, yet could benefit much more from
it.
