Agreed. Also, as HTML 3.0 is a form of SGML, it concentrates on the
-structure of the information held-, not the formatting of output as Acrobat
and similar products do.

You have to allow from everything from 14" VGA screens to people with large
multisyncs and 1600 * 1200 24 bit displays. By using HTML/SGML, and allowing
the actual output format to be determined by the software at the user's end,
you mainly escape these types of problem. IMHO.
