Yes. It's taken editor makers 20 years to grok it, but finally we're
seeing synchronous typographical interfaces that are getting a little
bit closer to being usable by the non-XML-expert author. However, it
would be nice to see them doing more at the usability level, as I
pointed out in Montreal two years ago. I'd hate to see they hide the
deficiencies of their products behind a statement like the quote above.
