We should replace the Pillar document format by a better one, suitable for WYSIWYG editing and creating long documents. I dream that all documents in my Dynabook are WYSIWYG. However, the computing world seems to have regressed into writing documents in various forms of assembly code. I'd love to have what you are suggesting, but there is too much time, energy, and most importantly emotion invested in Pillar to convince a change. IMHO, the only course would be to collect the people who agree with you, create what you are proposing on your own, and deliver it to the community to see for themselves why it is a better way.
I do not care about pillar. I care about we have it, it is working and improving and we can control it. I care that soon we can have a good solution and do something else. I do not have 10 years for the perfect solution but if you come with it, maintain it, enhance and I can extend it in case you disappear then I buy it. Stef
