On the other hand, the Web would never happened had TimBL paid too much attention to the academic hypertext community's consensus and prior art. Not that the academics don't bring something to the table, and in general I'm in favor of more non-vendor input in the standards community: (not just academics, we need more big users and people like librarians). I think almost all of the cruft comes from lack of respect for the 80/20 principle on which the Web itself is based. -Tim
