no - I'm redirecting to the file (this is a side-effect, e.g.,
by calling a function in one of the fprintf's).  I don't see any
sign of traces being sent to the screen.

I'm aware of that (have no plans for changing that aspect of the design).

simple: when I switch tables between tagsoup and sortasgml,
I am seeing a similar effect in color-style, which may be
masked/compounded by the trace problem I mentioned.  When I get to the
bottom of that, I can (without introducing extra problems)
make either table the default.

uh no: people like the color styles better than the Christmas tree approach.
(and it relates to some other stuff I'm doing in ncurses).

I saw the message, asked directly, more than once over the past
year or so, but got no response (it would be nice to incorporate
newer/better code, but what I have is interesting enough to tinker with).
