i understand what you're trying to say.

but...

that's an after-the-fact rationalization.

as evidenced by every p.g. presentation
of an entire book on a single web-page,
users are quite accustomed to scrolling.

and there are times when it is the _best_
way to examine some particular aspect...

for example, consider this specific display:

>   http://z-m-l.com/misc/doublequote-check.html

that's an extremely useful presentation
from the standpoint of checking quotes,
which i think everyone will find obvious.

there are two notable things on that page,
both of them quite subtle, so bonus points
to anyone who can point out either of them.
