Yes, and it's a good solution for rendering the current state of the
Web.

No, you just end up with slightly different error handling. Our
problem was not with tables per se (DynaBase isn't a renderer, but a
collaborative authoring database); it was with half-baked assumptions
about SGML attribute defaulting.

By internal MIME type, I'm referring to Lynx's "www/source" and
"www/present" objects. I'm thinking of a new one, "xml/present".
Pointers and linked lists are not exclusive with DOM. I was just
differentiating between our own off-the-cuff structure and one
compliant with DOM; a DOM interface would be better because tools
written to interface with DOM in MSIE or Netscape or Tango or Mosaic
would be usable (or at least portable) to Lynx.
