I'm not sure what you mean re: click on "Figure 1" to see it. You could scroll back up, but I thought that was the equivalent of flipping back pages. In a lot of scientific papers I read the figure is not on the same page as the first introduction. I considered fixing them to one position, or placing them within the text like most people do, but this interrupted the flow for me.
re: "Edit" It's not a 300x improvement by any means. Definitely less cool than the research I get to do ;) That said, I would like to see things switch away from LaTeX as typesetting gets better on the web. I love LaTeX, and was even offered a part-time gig as a LaTeX editor for an economist that has 3 full-time typesetters (I'm not even kidding, he must take division of labor seriously). But it doesn't seem to allow for the same kind of freedom we have now as a result of newer media: it's optimized for print, even with addons like hypertext.

I 100% agree with the problem you've identified, but I find your solution confusing. Then again, I found LaTeX confusing when I first used it, so I guess it might just be me not being used to it.
