Political power is implicit in markup technologies because they 
redistribute control of publication. It's wonderful to read these 
messages that touch on the political effect of the technology, though I 
appreciate that this is a deservedly rare deviation from the intent of 
the list.

What a sterile conversation this would have been had we all been 
restricted by purely commercial interest.
