An XML browser that's Lynx-like would be really cool, too, and easy
(relatively).  Parsing is pretty straightforward, and DSSSL stylesheet
support will only need to include line-breaking, indenting, and
whatever character-level formatting is worthwhile.  Font sizes, etc.,
are sort of meaningless.

Check out <URL:http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MarkUp/SGML/Activity> for
more info and an XML draft, to be officially released Wednesday at
SGML '96 in Boston.
