But that seems a reasonable argument, to me.  I'm not saying that
they shouldn't be in the GUI, I'm just saying that it's not a disaster
if they aren't in the initial release.  Things get better over time,
after all.

Yes, I think I agree with you.  This is fairly simple to implement,
given, say, an HTML parser, fonts, colors, and the ability to draw
text on a window, but it's not completely trivial.  Would be nice to
package in a widget.
