It's statements like this that just drive me crazy.

"If it /looks/ right", then there are probably 5 times the number of 
people who think it looks wrong as who think it looks right. There's 
Haines "look right," there's Perathoner "look right," there's Widger 
"look right," there's BowerBird "look right," and there's Adcock "look 
right." And none of them looks as good as /Passey/ "look right."

Why is it so hard to recognize other people's views, and accept the fact 
that there is no such thing as "looks right," there is only "is right?" 
And why is there so little willingness to compromise so we can all get 
what we want?

The right file format should make a clear distinction between the text, 
and how the text looks, and should allow me to /easily/ apply any 
arbitrary presentation to that text.
