Indeedy.

Not sure. Stallman has had the papers for quite a while. Perhaps if I
get lucky with the timing of Emacs-W3 3.0 and Emacs 19.36. Its been in
XEmacs (aka Lemacs) since the 19.(10? 11?) days.
I actually just made a few patches to VM so that it can display inlined
HTML. So stupid netscape 4.0 stuff isn't a problem for me anymore. :)
