People associate the layout with the meaning. If people don't want tags to show, I think that a user interface would have to ensure that the only way a user could get things to display properly would be to create the right XML structures. In other words, allow "styles", which are a visual analog to the XML elements being used, but don't allow direct use of fonts. But that's only a start.... Jonathan
