Sarven, I am a fan of your linked research work. But I think it's a bit unjust to characterize D-Lib Magazine as fitting in the category "via paper and desktop/print centric tools and formats." D-Lib is, and has since its start in 1995, been an HTML-only journal that has served the Digital Library community very well. Just recently, I published a paper [1] in D-Lib in which the editors agreed to allow me to diverge from their template in order to demonstrate the Robust Links [2] approach to combat reference rot in scholarly communication. We had tried to achieve the same with a paper about reference rot in PLOS ONE [3] but our request was declined. While I agree that D-Lib does not represent an incarnation of your intended paradigm shift, I really don't think they are the enemy either. BTW: Maybe you could consider supporting Robust Links in your work. It's all about long-term access and integrity of the web-based scholarly record and hence should be of interest to you.
