Come on... Ted Nelson deserves much more views! maybe Project Xanadu is vaporware, but he is a really smart old man..
On the other side you have timbl who is selling the web to Hollywood lobbies. We should start all this cyberspace and hypertext shit again.

That's fine. I do not think Ted wanted people to conform to his parallel view format. What he wanted was true hyperlinks, hopefully atomic and self-healing linkable. a relational database offers just that. The MVC would be in charge of the actual representation of that data. And obviously the user would have the choice on how it would display.

Also, optimize your >>10-10,10-10.

I just got done with the first 3 videos of the series. I have to say, I am enthralled. Thanks >>1. Still, like >>7 said, it would have been amazing if everything was referenced, like his Xanadu project. It does indeed feel like a poem or speech, more that a historical account. Well, it his theatrical piece:

Vulnerabilities killed it. It was used to spread malware. Now we have GTK+, and other toolkits.

RESTful hyperlinks. An atomic hyperlink is unique, and self-identifying from the reference file and source file. Self-healing hyperlinks are resistant to failures and can mitigate relinking: e.g. relinking in case a server containing the file fails or file gets moved, etc. Ted calls it transclusion, but I bring the ACID properties to it.

You should read his wiki:
