I would have tried to arrange it so that whatever method comes to the mind of the average person for publishing a document on the internet publishes a static document. The situation today of course is that the method that usually comes to mind when a person decides that something he or she has written should be put on the internet publishes what is essentially an executable for a very complex execution environment, and (except for a single non-profit with steadily decreasing mind share) the only parties maintaining versions of this execution environment with non-negligible mind share are corporations with stock-market capitalizations in the trillions.
