Perfectly reasonable, and Bluefish is a nice app - but I, and many others
similarly coding-challenged, would never have even known what html *was*,
were it not for mozilla-composer and later NVU ;-)

By the way, although the html produced by NVU/Composer is not necessarily
*pretty*, it's surprisingly standards compliant, at least according to the
w3c "referer" (<sic> re: spelling of "referrer")
