Indeed. If you reread the good doctor's last paragraph, you'll see that
he's talking about *exactly* the sort of software you're talking about. To
claim that WYSIWYG is possible on the web *is* misleading, because there
are quite a few browsers out there and quite a few people with different
resolution screens. That's why you should design the document by a concept
of how it should look, rather than as something which looks good in the
one application you've used to produce it. Yes?
