With all due respect to Lars, as a user > interface goes, MML is shockingly bad, IMHO. Lots of people edit HTML and have no problem with it. In fact, HTML was touted as a simple language to use. What's so different about editing MML? It is even simpler than HTML! A UFI (user friendly interface) on top of MML might be nice, but I don't think it is needed really badly. kai -- Life is hard and then you die.
