Hmmm...so <Hn> tags are supported in the not-supported-at-all sort of sense.
At least that's cleared up.

Getting that magic just right is proving elusive for me. It gets very messy
when &amp; = 1 char, and &#63879; = 2 chars. Nick, I see you were having
similar problems a couple of months back (per archives). Would anyone be
prepared to share their solution?

This is an interesting viewpoint, but I find it hard to swallow. This is
_not_ the same as hyphenation, in 2 v/important ways: the hyphen itself as
the prime indicator of wordbreaking is missing, and hyphenation follows
strict rules in order to achieve legibility. An even more efficient use of
space would be to omitallspacesbetweenwords... Perhaps a suggestion for the
next generation of iMode browsers?
