I like "classifier". I changed the online tutorial to match.
I also spent a few hours drawing some nice borders to prettify the tables. I
used the W3C's (standards committee) HTML 4.0 specification as a HTML guide.
You don't see any of it in Netscape or Internet Explorer. It looks damn fine
in Konqueror, which I used to test the formatting. Nobody uses Konqueror.
Holy frickin' dammit.
