In case your wishlist isn't big enough yet, I've got an item to
add to it. :-)
In a manual I'm currently writing, it would be very useful to be able
to produce those little black boxes on the edge of a page to identify
various sections of a manual. (My editor has just informed me that
these are called "bleed tabs.")
It would be great if DOCUMENT could provide a tag such as:
<BLEED_TAB>(Text in Box)
.
.
.
<ENDBLEED_TAB>
to indicate the page at which the tab should stop or a new one
should begin.
Maybe this isn't possible in TEX, though. Just wishing....

This would be especially useful for perfect bound books. From what
I hear, our users greatly prefer perfect binding to our present
three-ring method.

This has come up before; the problem isn't with TeX so much as the
drivers. The LPS-40, in particular, won't let you print anything
that it deems is too close to the edge of a page.
