do people really think lee's system is "interesting"?

unless i'm missing something, it's just a mockup?
it doesn't actually save the text, not that i can see.

and the reg-ex cleanup doesn't really work, does it?

except there is a tremendous conundrum at work...

because we don't want proofers to go "presentational",
do we?  we want them to make structural distinctions...

but with all those presentational w.y.s.i.w.y.g. buttons
littering the interface, how would proofers ignore them?

i had similar problems in safari.  camino worked fine.

i don't understand the appeal of a horizontal interface
-- way too much scrolling for me! -- but lots of people
seem to prefer it.

but you want the display to look like the p-book, not?
