- From near the start of the file
<!--
For document colour info see:
HypertextNOW article _Hypertext Now 4: Showing Links_
URL: http://www.eastgate.com/HypertextNow/archives/ShowingLinks.html
The Browser Safe Color Palette by Lynda Weinman
URL: http://www.lynda.com/hex.html
After reading the article I was going to use
BGCOLOR ="#cccccc" TEXT = "#000000"
LINK ="#000066" VLINK = "#660066"
ALINK ="#cc0036"
because they are more subdued variations of the the standard colours
and all appear in the `safe' palette but I had so much trouble getting
them to appear as I intended (even on a colour monitor) that I gave up.

- From just within the list of questions for section 1:
<!-- Can't use MENU here because MENU can't contain DIR and DIR (COMPACT) --
-- is the most sensible way to present submenus. It's disappointing --
-- that more browsers don't present DIR and DL COMPACT right. Come to --
-- think of it I don't know any browser that doesn't present MENU and --
-- UL exactly the same. That's life on the WWW I guess :-[ -->
- From near the images at the bottom of the file:
<!--
Wot? No WIDTH or HEIGHT! Netscape (and perhaps even better
browsers) do not handle ALT attributes properly when WIDTH and
HEIGHT are present. This document contains only two images, and
each are in Ps of their own, so there should be no adverse affect
on loading.

- 11 Jan 1998
- Updated the link to Microcosm in question 2.1.
