are useful but dated documents with no guarantee that they
|
|
are up to date.
|

</p>
|

<p>
|
|
They are kept because the rate of explosion of Web technology
|
|
has meant that many newcomers are unaware of some of the
|
|
original design rationale, and so important design criterai
|
|
are in danger of being designed out by those who take for
|
|
granted or overlook the requirements.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
So some of this stuff is just as valid now as was then, and
|
|
some of it for example has a slant from the original need to
|
|
sell the idea of Global Hypertext, the World Wide Web, to the
|
|
high enrgy physics (HEP) community which originally funded
|
|
it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
At that time I didn't realize the importance of dating and
|
|
signing and web documents, but as I wrote most of them, other
|
|
contributions were normally signed.
|
|
</p>
|

|
The documents have a horizontal rule at the top after which
|
|
the original document follows.
