This and the next several messages in this thread suggest that people might be happy if they could display PostScript RFC's online. That doesn't seem like enough to me -- I haven't seen a PostScript (dvi, whathaveyou) previewer yet that had search or cut-and-paste capability. I think ASCII will be the best choice unless/until there is some sort of universal WYSIWIG editor description format and a -whole bunch- of programs that use it.
