Had you forgotten about FO viewers? (FOP has one, Antenna House has one). Who
knows, one day Mozilla might have one (FO makes sense for browsers, by the way,
if you think of it as an alternative to PDF, rather than an alternative to
HTML). My FO documents are certainly not all transient, I keep them just as I
keep numerous HTML documents.
Cheers,
Tony.
