I respectfully disagree with Ted Nelson.
He saw HTML as a way to give structure to the Web, which would ultimately result in control, whereas it was on the contrary built as the building block for a uncontroled, free field of expression.
In some way I think HTML was to HyperText (as a concept) what the Web 2.0 was to HTML : a more user-generated content focused approach which ultimately allowed endless creativity and expression.
I mean it's funny to see how Nelson is already concerned about rights management and version management. On the other hand I think its view on the Web Browser is really insightful. But whatever tool you use human only have 2 eyes, and for most of us we use both to look at the same thing at the same time.
