You may be interested in Tim Berners-Lee's talk on "The World Wide Web - past, present and future" given at the BCS in London in July 1996 which is available at http://www.bcs.org.uk/news/timbl.htm In his talk he said: "It was one of the greatest surprises to me that the community of people putting information on line was prepared to go and write those angle brackets. It still blows my mind away, I'm not prepared to do it, it drives me crazy."
