I seldom see hypertext truly exploited on the web. Annotations,
footnotes and links to companies and the like are all well and good,
however do little more than ape something in the paper paradigm.
So few people are really pushing this stuff. In a sense I see
e-mail discussion lists as closer to a blueprint for the essence of
hypertext than documents available on the web itself.
