- I agree with you that it is important for hypertext to create automatically
- new h-texts and add new links to old ones. In my point of view, the first
- step to realize it is to divide links from the texts. In WWW model, links
- are inside the hypertexts, which makes it very difficult.

- Talking about collaboration of different hypertexts (IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.),
- I feel it is more complicating. Interchange of formats of hypertexts and links
- among different systems needs a better-structured hypertext model as a core.
- WWW can not do it, and furthermore, it is not a good model to do it...
