We had DynaText talking to DynaWeb, doing XML fragments and an  
optimised 'netbook' protocol before Netscape 1.0 shipped. It was  
*way* more powerful than Netscape at the time... a slight accident of  
history and things might have been very different. Ah well. The real  
shame is that the vision of XML as an improved hypermedia format got  
lost in the noise and market realities.
