I agree with some of the earlier posts that we need to formalize the<br>
notion of sections and allow people to show a section at a time. This<br>
can be done by analyzing the positions of the headers and assume that<br>
they mark the start of sections.</div></blockquote><div>While I don't see a problem with formalizing the notion of sections (and it would be interesting metadata) I would not use this as a single block of text to display. Possibly something laid out like in, for example, Google Reader - having sections in pages, and allowing scrolling up and down to other pages - would be good.<br>
