But that seems a reasonable argument, to me. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be in the GUI, I'm just saying that it's not a disaster if they aren't in the initial release. Things get better over time, after all. > I think styled text display is important.

Yes, I think I agree with you. This is fairly simple to implement, given, say, an HTML parser, fonts, colors, and the ability to draw text on a window, but it's not completely trivial. Would be nice to package in a widget.
