Um, there's this thing called "hypertext". It can link to this other thing called a "glossary".

These are long-solved problems. They really don't need a complete rethinking of how information is delivered. They just need publishers to remove thier heads from their ... fundaments and do their jobs properly, rather than trying to either turn back the clock, or find some way to smash square pegs into round holes and call it "value added".

When I see articles like this, I figure it's a perfect lesson in people who don't understand history (even recent history) being doomed to repeating it. It's also what makes patent lawyers rich.
