Would it seem ungrateful if I suggest that the first thing we need is some more descriptive terms? Because to me, "document viewer" is so generic as to be nearly meaningless.
o xdvi is a document viewer o mplayer is a document viewer o GPhoto is a document viewer o Audacious is a document viewer o 'info' and 'man' are document viewers o 'less' is a document viewer What kind(s) of documents are we talking about here? What specific needs do we identify which are unmet by existing helper applications? Specific needs mentioned so far: o PDF documents are capable of random access (when linearized), but Adobe Reader assumes you will want the whole document eventually, whereas small references to a large document would be best served if it could be told to only fetch pages on demand. o Maps are big but screens are small. There is a need to express the idea that an image should be shown pixel-for-pixel regardless of size, under a scrollable viewport. Sometimes it's most appropriate to view photographs at full resolution, too. Others? -- Mark H.
