It's a shame that this never got implemented, and now with the enshittification of copyright and "IP", it'll never happen.
The main feature was caching everything, and being able to make a copy of the "path" through things, along with a local copy of everything, in a nice exportable format, for your friends and colleagues.

Also, the fact that HTML does not allow you to mark up hypertext in a sane manner, doesn't help the picture. You can take a paper document, and add all manner of markup to it, without needing to alter the original source. Why can't we do the same with hypertext?

This is a crucial point that I had never considered. Maybe we could mark this interleaved metaHTML with IDs or classes that make it easy to strip out. Or maybe HTML is a rendering format and we need something one step up.
