OP here. An early homepage for the (hopefully not dying) Dillo web browser provided a link to your essay (as "a MUST"): https://www.linux.ime.usp.br/~livio/dillo/new-home/Links.html https://www.linux.ime.usp.br/~livio/dillo/new-home/Links.htm... Dillo, too, stands for simplicity. A browser that has remained exceptionally bloat-free for 22 years. I figured that in the light of today's heavyweight browsers, your thoughts on the simplicity of TCP/IP and HTTP/1.0 maybe resonate with many. (I'm an everyday text browser user, so both protocols are still relevant to me.) Another interesting thing: considering the age of the Internet, it is extremely fun to find thoughtful 20+ year old essays on "computer stuff" that have stood the test of time. I'm a big fan of longer, well-articulated writings from the 90s era (a simplicity geek, I guess), and there are probably a lot of these from that period. Thanks for writing down these thoughts in 1998. Bookmarked.
