- WWW is only at the periphery of my attention, so I
- apologize if my comment is not "on point" and is not
- very elaborated.

- I believe the growing pains of HTML can only be
- resolved by evolving to the SGML architectural
- form concept, as exemplified by HyTime. That is
- not to say that WWW architectural forms should
- *be* HyTime, but *a* set of architectural forms
- will provide a baseline for WWW browsers. It
- will be impossible to arrive at a monolithic
- answer for all problems from whitespace to
- tables. Different WWW applications will arise
- although this should never preclude the most
- minimal application. In fact, one of the chief
- benefits will be the ability to preserve a
- minimal application which is the key to
- rapid and wide diffusion of the concept.
