The information you seek was originally written up by TimBL way back in '91 (if not before). It's currently available at: HTML Design Constraints Wed Jun 29 18:15:09 1994 http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/HTMLConstraints.html This is _one_ hop off "the HTML page" at: http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/MarkUp.html (irony: no HTML in that URL!) In particular, check out the history section: http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/MarkUp.html#history Now that I've answered your question, I'm really curious to know why you couldn't find this information yourself. Or did you in fact find it, but overlook it because it seemed out of date? Are the basic design issues and foundations of the web architecture so hard to find? I wonder why? Everybody: before you post another message to www-*, please stroll around: HyperText Design Issues Thu Feb 23 20:02:48 1995 http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/DesignIssues/ Dan
