Hi Regina,

I hope you didn't take my previous words as a personal attack, which 
they weren't.

The boundaries are another visual clue to what's on the page. I see them 
as useful as the unprintable characters are: a necessity when laying a 
page out.

I fail to see any use to the "angles" (don't know the actual name for 
these things) as they are currently implemented. If others can do with 
them, it's ok with me, no problem, as much as there are actually people 
working with hidden unprintable chars. The best of both worlds would be 
to display the (good ol') text boundaries according to the unprintable 
chars switch.

My two cents. Well, I hope for some more :)
