Brand new from the BBC today is this interview with Tim Berners-Lee. Believe it or not, he never envisioned people actually coding Web pages by hand in HTML. What he had in mind for browsers was more along the lines of a word processor, one that allowed you to author a document, format it and publish the content to a remote server. And also collaborate on shared documents and projects between people. If you were unaware of this, the W3C has just such an application called Amaya. To be honest, I've played around with it, and it does have some powerful features, but I actually prefer coding markup by hand in vi.

As it turns out, what I'm doing right now (blogging) is a lot closer to this original idea.
