Err.. I guess I wasn't clear. I'm not suggesting things to be included in
the 2014 top 100. I'm asking which edition is on Greg's wish list... and I
was guessing either the Cambridge or Globe.

"If I were king, I'd order an entirely fresh set of Shakespeare,
partially based on our current items (we have four different versions
of many of Shakespeare's plays in English).  Use invisible tags to
mark players, so that readers could use them for performance (for
example, have all of Hamlet's lines be highlighted).  That would bring
a lot of benefit from the markup, in addition to looking a lot better
than the plain text versions we already have."
