Wolfram's lack of these facilities (or simple links to programs that do it well is limiting their market) If that is not deliberate, perhaps the decision needs to be reexamined. The demonstrations capability will go a long way to dealing with that -- assuming WRI does not price themselves out of the market when they sell the capability independently. My major concern today is that some of the features DO NOT WORK. These include the web Mathematica packages and the data base package. Both of these are important in that they provide systematic interfaces to widely used input and output interfaces.
