Who said it would read only one HTML document? A book be composed of several... even several hundred.
And where wold one place footnotes in such a document? The electronic form is paper... the user to rollower the footnote, or when the footnote was visible, it would be displayed at the bottom edge...
Iknow the intent for your post was "Why limit one's self to HTML" but the arguments were used were... well... bad. I agree that a more specialized/simple format wiould be a better idea.... what is HTML anymore, anyway?
That's what a metre is referred to now.... in fact, a metre was defined as a specific percentage of the distance covered by the equator... so there's still a practical and surprisingly accurate mathematical fashion to come up with your own 'metre' in your backyard.
Just search on google for "how to define a metre."
I used to work in Ottawa at the museum of science and tech, during the time where they were shifting their computer structure around. We used to have a hall of computers, and there were displays and booths that taught kids about electronics and circuitry through hands on information... kids could manipulate magnetic core memory, and see the information being changed in real time, and have it read back off the core...
Ping pong balls and pinball plungers were arranged in such a way that gates were represented in a way which they could wrap their heads around...
Oh, and best of all, EVERY computer on display was functional, including the Crown 'micros' from the 60s... every kid got their name or a phrase given to them on a small piece of punch tape printed by devices older than their parents... but it was also kept current, all the way up to the PCs and Macs of the day (this was around 1995).
Then the museum got a huge cash infusion from Microsoft and Intel, and suddenly all of the vintage historical machines either got put into storage (some were lucky enough to make it onto display, such as the right arithmetic wing of an old USAF computer) but not in a functional state... hands on became kids sitting in front of twenty pcs playing the latest microsoft educational software and browsing a very limited intranet... as well as easy access to hotmail.
I quit my job at the museum after this, and never looked back.
I'm throughly disappointed in the computing section that exists at the NMSTC now... it's still in the same state it was in 1995.

Us canadians have known this for a while.
Not really... the aspect ratio is slightly different making it a real bitch to fit into the old casing.
Maybe she knew that it said whore? You should have slipped her a bill and waited to see what would happen.
