In fact I suspect that using XEMACS leads to something completely visually symmetric w.r.t the middle axis. This isn't visual balance, but just the simplest form how one could achive visual balance. Look at some pieces of modern art, e.g. Kandinsky. Although they are very asymmetric, they nevertheless have a strong visual balance, and in the same time have more "tension" than a simple ornamental thing. jtl
