Untitled.opml

experimenting with Dave Winer's OPML tool, to see if it implements any of what we came up with for Foundation, back in 1986.
  lacks the *editor* features, it's only an outliner
  over all, not notably more convenient than emacs and some helper modes (like efs)
Annoyances
  nearly-unreadable font
    %-+ and %-- don't increase/decrease font size
    no OPML->Preferences menu to change the fonts either
  the sample directions are windows-specific ("My Documents") and ~/Documents/OPML isn't created, if that's even right...
    creating ~/Documents/OPML/www and saving there doesn't lead to Community->Get Outline URL working, it just gives the complaint about "frontmost window does not have a URL to copy"
    it turns out to be ~/OPML/www, not very mac-ish, and I had to load the binary to find this out (though it *is* pre-created.)
  the black-and-white retro-beachball is the sign of a sketchy (or worse, non-osx) toolkit
  Default editor window is goofily small
  Save As creates a new window
  every minute or so the screen flickers madly
  The OPML saved fails to have a style sheet, so opening it in a web browser gets XML noise and nothing useful
    given that this is a pair of single platform tools, it needs the help
  in the register dialog, delete wipes the *whole password* instead of the last character
  emacs style bindings don't work (they do in Safari edit fields, and aren't taken for any other use...)
  %-` violates mac standards by not cycling windows
  %-A (select all) is just for the text in one widget - don't seem to have a way to select a whole outline (since inclusion doesn't actually work with the blog window)
