Just a few comments :
w3 is implemented in Emacs lisp and thus needs Emacs to run.
Gnuscape term might be misleading : w3 bears no resemblance to
Netscape (be it a good or bad thing, depends on your point of view ...
;-)
I tested Gnuscape today and found out it doesn't e.g. display images
or understand HTML tables.
I'm not sure if it's possible to render bold and/or italic text using
different fonts ? Didn't dig deep enough to see if it's possible or
not.
In short : I'd rather use OmniWeb on my NeXT if it was, say, 10 times
faster ;) - ok, ok, guess it's a hardware issue, too ;)
