We aim to provide the same sort of "paper functionality" in HTML. It is not -- quite -- an electronic doodle pad (consider SVG for that) - what we see are recognizably documents, with the features of formatted documents. But look at the code and you'll see -- once you get past the sheer verbosity of it -- it isn't a formally controlled or even very regular arrangement. Paradoxically, since no structure is imposed or formal control exerted, what stands out is consistencies in the *way things are made to appear* (in typescript, on a printed page; with HTML, in a commodity browser) -- and it proves that those consistencies are precisely the guideposts we want, to make futher inferences.

We'll do this using brain-dead Level 2 HTML/CSS: basically a few structural divs for framing, then `p` elements with an assortment of inline mixed content including `b`, `i`, `u`. There will be resort to CSS to describe things that are not easily described using tags alone (such as margins and indents on paragraphs). But nothing should be obscure to the web developer.
