I'd love an example of a screen that doesn't contain "Text that a user 
sees or might see on a computer screen" AND does contain computer output.

screen is the verbatim brother of computeroutput, I've never seen an 
example of where nesting them isn't pointless, but I would love to see 
such an example! So bring one on and I will reconsider my position.

Cheers, Jeff.
