/ David Megginson <david@megginson.com> was heard to say:
| finished, for aesthetic rather than semantic reasons.  Generic markup
| is a harder sell there because, as Rick pointed out and Simon echoed,
| it adds to the writers' workload by making them do something they
| didn't have to worry about before.

And yet I've watched them spend hours tinkering with formatting in
their WYSIWYG tools, despite the fact they've been told that all the
formatting is going to get discarded.

Structured authoring is hard.

Sigh.
