I couldn't figure out the horizontal scrolling, for one.  I also was trying to have it do more on the "model" side of the widget, and it didn't like what I was doing.

Ok, I'll see what I can do about adding the PluggableTextMorph.  As for the BobsUI via HTML + tweaking comment, what do you want to do with that, create a BobsUI Scamper?  I have BobsUI reading and writing XML window specs now, and a BobsUIBuilder to create a window from XML. (I no longer use the current BobsUI building methods) You could probably write a new Builder class that reads HTML and creates a BobsUI window.  Is that what you want?
