Yes, style is the way to go. The font stuff was rushed and is intended to
show that it is possible to have html in the log. My initial version had a
goal of no javascript and no css. Eventually I gave up but the adoption of
both javascript and css is not yet complete. Together javascript and css
(now that browser compatibility is higher) are a powerful combo for a JFE.

My intention is to move to DOCTYPE/xhtml/strict. That would have caught the
missing font tag on the systems I am testing on and will keep everything
more portable down the road. The forgiving html/loose was nice in the early
days on my few and specific test systems, but has a high price for
portability down the road.

The next beta will have xhtml/strict and exclusive use of styles/divs/spans.

The beta should be viewed as a proof of concept. if the concept is valid,
then refinements are relatively trivial. The jopn page is rough and
incomplete. But improving it is quite simple. I believe input=file is client
side and jhs needs a server side file manager.
