Re: [ba-ohs-talk] GUI Ideas and NODAL
Actually, having thought about it more, and having drawn a few more diagrams
on my sketch pad, I'm beginning to see the value of having documents be
collections of string nodes, which in turn are collections of characters. It
adds an extra layer of indirection in there, making manipulation easier. (01)
Cheers,
