This is a few lines of CSS.

And this a few score lines of Javascript.  (I'm understating, most
likely, I admit.)

But I haven't yet seen anything like it accompanying common web docs,
which are written to the same level of taste that most "modern" "who
needs a document window when we need to put up 4 10x10 tool palettes
simultaneously" UIs aspire to (eg, GIMP, or a fully decorated Internet
Exploder).

We need a proof of concept at least, and preferably an Emacs-based
browser (I wonder if eww isn't too far from being capable, but I
haven't looked at its code).
