The points I was making were not aimed at specialists. I'd prefer myself to simply write the mark-up, but I described something I thought a lot of others would find easy to use, and it wouldn't require any knowledge of HTML or CSS. Would they find it as easy as traditional WYSIWYG? I don't know why not. I've yet to be presented with a specific reason why not. And if it's a litle clumsier, people will do it anyway once they realize that it gives them the ability to customize even the works of others. You said CSS was the reason there wasn't a GUI. Now it's HTML. Whatever.

What you say about CSS being handled differently by different engines does not match my experience at all, with the single exception of IE. And what you say about scripts sounds like something only specialists would care about. (And something that would only be compounded by allowing WYSIWYG at any stage of creation.)

But this is still all very general and vague complaints, and I have trouble relating without any examples to illustrate the problems. But so be it. You're entitled to your opinion. I'm tired of this discussion, and I think you are too.
