Can I put a plug in for scrolling text areas? (PluggableTextMorphs?) They
are really really handy and, for some reason, often left out of BobsUI :)

As from (X)HTML (as I've already suggested) may I suggest three things to
look at: XForms, XUL (the Mozilla thing), and the StableSqueak XML spec

Very much looking forward to it.
