*What's* the catch? Do *what* now rather than later? I'm sorry, Nuno, but
your replies are becoming increasingly vague to me (which could be my fault
as much as yours). I'm not even really sure if we are disagreeing anymore.
;o)

BTW, I'm not a CMS vendor. Just a customer. To go back to the original
debate, I was just disagreeing with the argument that a CMSs need to take
huge strides in interpreting ramdomly styles and marked up content to
appease the perceived needs of a ramdon group of writers who insists on
wanting to style their content how they see fit vs. structurally. I think
our conversation has shot out into some odd tangental realm.

I've never been a fan of political correctness in email forums as long as
there isn't name calling. I love a good debate. ;o)
