(I've been thinking about possible designs for a few years; someday I hope to take a run at implementing something.) So, from that point of view, programs "should" do none of those. As for more immediately pragmatic values of "should"...well, I'm not fond of any of the above; I'd say it's a question of what goals you're trying to satisfy and thus which option is the best fit to them. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
