What was that goal, again? Ah yes, producing an encyclopedia on the web. Leave the presentation where it belongs, in the hands of the user. We generally can be trusted to know what we want and where.
Nope that wasn't the goal but it's close enough. While the user may have a very good idea about what they want and where it is up to us to provide it (the fun bit comes in when we start providing different IPs with different stardard setting but I suspect that would be a notiable drain on server capacity).
