authored to the lowest common-denominator cannot be made intelligent without
reauthoring.
Portability of HTML/SGML
HTML has no inherent intelligence built in. HTML in its current form,
although useful, has limited functionality. When you information is authored
specifically to your information it will maintain its functionality.
