I certainly hope that the perceived lack of support is actually the
result of everyone assuming we can't do without it (a browseable list),
that it doesn't need to be stressed. I am strongly in favor of
browsing. I would never do away with key word searching, it's a handy
tool. But both browsing and key word searching are important tools and
I want both of them.
