You haven't answered my question about what *functional* features you're
missing from printed HTML.  I understand that the current state-of-the art
doesn't have adequate controls over widows and orphans, but that's an
aesthetic issue that doesn't impair your undersatnding of the doc.

Based on some tests I performed today, support for page-break-before and
page-break-after is a little hit-and-miss, but page-break-inside works well,
and that's the one I care about most so that examples don't break pages when
possible.

The folks that don't like the lineprinter format have specific functional
requirements that the status quo does not offer.
