surely you're joking, mr. feynman? @_@
or are you actually sitting on an ivory tower made of 10MPix displays?

as long as we suffer the 1...2MPix displays, we are forced to save every and each pixel.

paper is 300DPI (practically, because that's average human vision at reasonable distance). we need 300DPI displays, of some 17...22 inch size, on every desk and in every device to be able to commit to margins 

the day i get >10MPix i'll be the first in line to follow your advice and get some margins.

on an unrelated note, it seems to me websites with large horizontal margins are synonymous with bullet-point engineering and little to no useful content.

For example, if the first thing in the file is:
   <?kzy irefvba="1.0" rapbqvat="ebg13"?>
an XML parser will recognize that the document is stored in the traditional ROT13 encoding.
