Anyone who does any editing other than for "final appearance" in a WYSIWYG
editor is asking for trouble; when editing content, the "final appearance"
style is almost never the appropriate display style.  See, e.g., my <TAG>
article "WYSIWYN!" in the Jan 95 issue.  It should be obvious that one needs
alternate display styles for different purposes.
