In an effort to write a WikiGenerator class for Xtreams-Parsing I 
decided to substitute ALHtml5Canvas for XML.Element. It's sort of all 
over the place, but fun.

WikiGenerator>>bold: first
     <action: 'Bold' arguments: #(2)>
     |str canvas|
     str := String new writing.
     first do: [:each| str put: each ].
     str close.
     canvas := ALHtml5Canvas on: String new writing.
     canvas b: str contents.
     ^canvas stream contents


It's coming along [1] but needs refactoring in ways I can't see yet. 
Getting a string out of an OrderedCollection of chars is a pain. And I 
have a feeling that owing to the use pragmas, I can't use ivars.

Actually, this is a model of how somebody uses Xtreams when they don't 
understand Terminals and Transforms. Oh, well. I think I'm all in for 
today.
