Thats what I said but unfortunately, this thing called Unix has
conventions and they don't teach those conventions in Art Director's
school.  Everyone seems to agree that our authors know the conventions
and it is silly to throw them away in the translation.  I'm simply
trying to preserve certain font/text changes... nothing major.  But
it HAS TO (SHOULD) be part of the normal editorial loop.
