Well, I'm wondering if that needs to be there in general,
anyway. I was thinking about providing user input for
forms, and thinking about the browser sending that input
to a separate program that reformats the component for
the browser.

Rather than receiving one-time data and attempting to process
it, perhaps the browser can receive data from many streams from
the translators, and tell each to reformat as the surrounding
cells shuffle.

s/bugs/problems/ ? how many of them were real bugs, rather than
brain-damage from page designers?
