That somewhat defeats the "thin" characteristic of Thinlet, unless you want
VERY BASIC support for it. So, forget css, div, mal-formed html etc. Would
that be ok? Even if it was, people would need to have a high demand for it.

I am copying the dev-list on that. We've just fixed some bugs and added
support for resizable, sortable columns for tables. I am supposed to fix the
dtd and to implement maxlength for textfield/textarea. What do you all
think? Should we roll a release after that?
