HTML wasn't a prospective standard. It was in broad use (relatively 
speaking) prior to official standardization. HTML was a showcase for 
power of URIs re. connecting documents over HTTP networks. View source 
combined with copy and paste delivered a deft pattern for bootstrap via

came to standard on HTML for information presentation.
