I don't really care where it lives, and will cheerfully defer to those 
with religious beliefs about the namespace ;-).

If it's not obvious, this flurry of library suggestions you've been
seeing from me lately all come straight out of the CML2 project.  I
use the urlbrowse() function to make URLs in help windows into live
objects that you can click on.

This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were
no religion in it.
