oh i can totally see that. i mean, when i beta, for instance, i always try and break up people's paragraphs into smaller ones, whereas editing for print i don't worry about it as much... I think — tho' I'm still not quite sure — that I prefer spaces around my em-dashes, too, but only online.
in fact, the more white-space online the better, as far as i'm concerned, so while i may indent my first paragraphs, i still have a leading carriage return before each paragraph. so... maybe a blockdent? inblock? er... spaced indents? ;-)
but i feel ya completely: my online prefs and tactile prefs are often different.
i do wonder how long it'll be before the online world forces the tactile world to change its standards?
