 Yes.  I'm thinking most about keybindings here in terms of
standardizing to either the Word/WP one or to Emacs.  

As far as html goes, I did mention that in a separate letter.  Even if 
it didn't become the next .txt format, it's almost an expected part of 
a wp now.  .XML -- Is this the thing formerly known as Active X?  We
had some discussion of it inadvertantly in one of the abuse groups.
If it is Active X, and if I remember correctly, there are some
security concerns.
