Yes Vinod,
I understand what you're saying. But already we have a good interface here. West-wind interface is the other which I really like. Michel doesn't let many tags to be used but at least we could do it ourselves with a small set :) Before you could use font tag as I remember and IMHO if Michel doesn't want it to be used there is something he knows (and he sure knows web interface much much much more than me).
I find it sufficient to use an extra "enter" or horizontal line if dispersing between current lines.
