-- Todo: share properties more with tagged pdf (or thge reverse)

-- Because we run into the 200 local limit we quite some do .. end wrappers .. not always
-- that nice but it has to be.

-- Experiments demonstrated that mapping to <div> and classes is messy because we have to
-- package attributes (some 30) into one set of (space seperatated but prefixed classes)
-- which only makes things worse .. so if you want something else, use xslt to get there.

-- language       -> only mainlanguage, local languages should happen through start/stoplanguage
-- tocs/registers -> maybe add a stripper (i.e. just don't flush entries in final tree)
-- footnotes      -> css 3
-- bodyfont       -> in styles.css

-- Because we need to look ahead we now always build a tree (this was optional in
-- the beginning). The extra overhead in the frontend is neglectable.
--
-- We can optimize the code ... currently the overhead is some 10% for xml + html so
-- there is no hurry.

-- todo: move critital formatters out of functions
-- todo: delay loading (apart from basic tag stuff)

-- problem : too many local variables

-- check setting __i__
