Steve,

I already have it in my UI for about a half dozen formats, adding one more
is no hardship. I was simply looking for a means of doing it independent of
any UI so that it would work for any of them regardless of whether they
directly supported filters or preprocessors.

<minor rant>
I don't mean to step into a hornet's nest, and may well be my ignorance, as
I have never made any attempt to learn Python or TK/TCL for example, but it
seems to me that there is an awful lot of duplicated functionality across
the various UIs.

I have been wondering for some time if there would be significant benefit in
implementing a unified UI API or other means of handling the parts common to
all UIs. A preprocessor / filter would just be one of those common parts.
</minor rant>

Regards,
Eric

An external filter is the generic solution.  You should add filter support
to your UI :)

There's no reason why other user interfaces can't add this support, they
just don't have it at the moment.
