While the WWW has been a tremendous leap for humanity, it is fundementally limited. Nelson's vision of transclusion is based on the structure of thought, not on the physical.
Articles written in this manner are usually without merit, but scattered throughout are indications of well thought out ideas. WYSIWYL (What You See Is What You Like), which is both obvious and virtually unattainable with the current paradigm, and the seldomn asked "How can electronic documents on the screen IMPROVE on paper?" challenges the status quo.
The first steps toward implementation have been taken. The next steps are not for the visionary to take.
