ok. let's say - crucial for me, together with hyperlinks. in your opinion - systems you just mentioned - are they __real__ hypertexts? or WWW with HTMLs? where to begin with "real" hypertext? i think Ted N. is father of real hypertext and i am still under impression of xanadu document model - as you probably know - "everyone can re-use all content virtually, simply by listing the desired content" [1]. well, there is also something about copyrights ;) but that's not a point. for now.
