You don't *have* to have all that for your users to be able to view HTML, you 
only have to send it to them. They have to have a terminal capable of viewing 
it, and since these exist, where's the problem? Larrey Athey's MAXTERM 
certainly seems capable of handling HTML, although I've not really looked at 
that part of it yet.
