Hello,

Part of the reason that the number of html documents has ballooned
so much is that they are so simple to format.  By restricting
and/or complicating the formatting, you vastly reduce the number of
people who are willing to learn the system and use it.  The World
Wide Web was designed to expand communication globally.  Don't
fuss that up by adding a bunch of fluff.  There's a well known
concept in business that works.  It's called K.I.S.S.  -  Keep
It Simple Stupid!
