HTML and WWW norms tend to excessive fragmentation of information and
too many hlinks to investigate just to guess which to follow. There
are many times when a complex subject (like the HTML specs) needs
to be studied in a more linear sequence than can be achieved yet
with current markup the author is discouraged from providing a well
organized linear document.
Agreed. This is a somewhat different problem than the one which
started this thread, but I would really like to see a browser that
supported a "flatten" command (maybe "flatten 1 level", "flatten N levels",
and "flatten entirely" commands). I don't know if this would require
any additional HTML support. I'm more interested in HTTP, and I think
this would not require anything new from HTTP (although it might be
nice to have an efficient way of asking for the entire set of documents
in one request).
