These are not problems to be solved by AT. The specs of HTML describe 
a few fonts and that's it. 
It makes no sense to write an AMIGA-Web Language (most Surf-Computers 
are PC's or UNIX-Machines with Netscape).

Not HTML Standard, sorry.

??? No-one has a TV connected to the PC. (At least a few Amiga users.) 
I think a C1084 is much better than a TV (even to watch television).
