Ok, now I see. So the list of words would be ignored by a
dumb client, an intelligent client would point you at the first occurrence
of one of the words, and a really smart client would highlight all
occurrences of all the words and allow you do move freely between them.
I don't want to see this idea fizzle away as just another idea, so
how does one go about getting it accepted or implemented ? (Ncom ?)
