I type hundreds of words and make dozens of style changes, then I print exactly once. You give me your standard cmd keys in a word processor and I'll not use it unless I can hack the cmd keys with ResEdit. Making the leap from "standards are good" to "if you only look at the programs I like, there is a de facto standard" to "let's institutionalize the de facto standard" is dangerous. The proponents of this approach on the net so far seem heedless of the danger. /alastair/
