i must tell you that i am enjoying these threads immensely.

because while y'all are doing your endless discussion thing,
there's an app right over on my site that is the pudding that
is proving that z.m.l. works quite nicely as a master format.

you put z.m.l. into a field, and then click a button, and
boom!, out pops nice .html, and an .epub, and a .mobi.
the offline equivalent app spits out a nice .pdf as well...
coming soon is output in the form of an _e-book_app._

so keep up the chatter, kids...  it's immensely entertaining...
