<h3>Old Computers</h3>
<ul>
<li>should the default "text" format of a small-net protocol only support the features that the vintage VT05 computer-terminal had — i.e., no blinking, no bolding, no underlining, no reverse text, but also <strong>no lower-case letters</strong></li>
<li>should the default "text" format of a small-net protocol only support the features of the ASCII data format</li>
<li>should the default "text" format of a small-net protocol only support the features that are renderable on most of the popular modern computer-terminal-emulators</li>

<h3>The Web</h3>
<ul>
<li>should a small-net protocol be intentionally incompatible with the Web — except maybe over bridge-proxies</li>

<li>should a small-net HTML make use of Web-components</li>
</ul>
