I'm aware of the advantages of text browsers in keeping sites
accessible... see my comments above.  Perhaps I wasn't clear in what I'm
asking.

Is this all people are concerned about -- accessibility?  Or are people
trying to use a text-based SWAT as a console admin tool?  What I am
trying to imply is that a console tool and a GUI are two different
things and trying to design one to be the other will be a frustrating
and/or futile exercise.
