I think this is very interesting and relevant: "XMLterm is a terminal emulator application providing a command line interface (CLI), like an Xterm or an MS-DOS window. It uses the Mozilla layout engine as its front end and a Unix shell program as its back end. An XMLterm window can display any marked-up content that can be rendered by the Mozilla layout engine, including HTML, XML, MathML, and, in the near future, even SVG. XMLterm is implemented as a component of Mozilla, and is currently at the alpha stage of development." http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/06/07/xmlterm/index.html Jeff
