Not to mention, you have to make a distinction between tap-to-navigate,
and tap-to-select text, and what if the text is bounded around an image?
We talked about this a couple of years ago, when quite a few people wanted
this feature. In fact, I had two content providers say they specifically
ONLY support AvantGo because AvantGo does *NOT* allow cut-n-paste in their
viewer, so their users can't "steal" their copyrighted content (though I
proved I could just bring up their site in a normal desktop browser with a
Junkbuster hack to fake the AvantGo detection).

Good idea, but a few concerns come to mind:

1. Bloat
2. Images, flowed text
3. Tap navigation, selection navigation (drag down 3 pages)
4. Bloat
