1) Nice browser!  It's nice to actually use my NeXTSTEP box to browse the web.

2) On: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Status.html, click on:
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Library/Status.html <Common Code Library>
Boom.

3) Could we have a "View Source" option, please?

4) The way you display horizontal separators is cute, but it gets old.  Is there a way we  
could customize the formatiing used?  This could be a broader issue, I suppose.

5) How about FORMs support?  Most of the work I'm doing uses FORMs extensively.

6) How about adding a drag-and-drop icon for the current document?  I'd love to drop  
some the docs I see into a mail message.  


7) If you highlight a horizontal separator in the document window, it displays incorrectly.

8) Hotkeys to do things like go back would be nice.

9) Be able to turn off the differentiation of links you've visited from links you haven't visited.

10) If I interrupt a document load, the dialog that pops up says "Couldn't access  
document", which isn't what happened at all.

11) ftp doesn't seem to work for me all that often.
