Oya, definitely.  It's partly a prototype and experiment at simpler
presentation.  Here's a mock-up screenshot, for example, which Suzanne
made earlier this year:

While she's away at ToyFair in NYC this week I'll be alternating between
final preps for AucZILLA XII and hardcore all-out intense coding sessions
to do some more DB innards toward this direction.


One thing I really like about this format is that it will be easy to cut and
paste set names in the form I like to use when inserting them in text, the
"0000 nnnn nnn nnn" form.

Oh, because the set number is abutted right next to the set name?  Great!

(Too bad there's no HTML tag that a page could use to tell the brower some
default preferred text to cut to the clipboard automatically if some ctrl-
key sequence were invoked by the user.  :)

BTW, do boldface or italics give you any trouble with cut & paste in your
browser, for example on this page?--
