And if you take your web pages seriously, you'll be using RCS (or
something similar) to keep track of what you changed, and when and
why.  RCS works best on files where small changes do not entail
wholesale reformatting: using it on the output of a WYSMBWYG
editor is unlikely to be helpful, since the changes between two
versions of the file may be massive even when only a small change
is made to the WYS page.

Every now and again I come across horrendously bad pages (like the
one where the author had specified that the links were to be
indistinguishable from the rest of the text) and I look at the
source to see how it was done.  In almost every case the garbage
was produced using Microsoft FrontPage.  Don't assume that using a
fancy tool will automatically turn you into a genius.
