Maybe you should download v4.04 and see exactly what it CAN do.

What do you mean by "full benefit"? The price list of your widgets is
exactly the same whether you put it in plain text, flashy text or a huge
graphic. It's content, not presentation, which is important. I think what
he means is that he will not put in Javascript or browser-specific stuff
just to make a page look "k00l". 

With all the bandwidth intensive bells and whistles added to pages these
days, people seem to have forgotten what the T in HTML stands for.
