It's that left-over eye nystagmus onset before 45 degrees thing.

There is still a lot of mind to go around, and as I said, 
some XML applications probably should be SGML applications 
(they need the flexibility) but when one is sharing a mind, 
like sharing an eye, there is only one point of view.  Ask 
the Fates if the Swan song of generalized markup has yet 
to be sung by the Gray Sisters.  Personally, I plan to 
ask the permission of the Horae before I ask for entry 
to markup heaven; otherwise, it's back to dealing with 
the Kindly Ones not being an Immortal myself.

Ah.. the barking of the Keres keeps these permathreads 
just one clip away from Atropos.
