Out of interest, have you written much interactive PostScript?


No, but they could've extended that instead of creating a new monster?


I've done a fair bit of development inside Postscript (way back when it was one of my favorite languages) and its problem in this context is that it /is/ a programming language, and one that would have to be effectively sandboxed. HTML on the other hand is purely a markup language, is extensible, can be reflowed, and is much more natural for writing documents by hand.
