It's important to recognise precursor systems like Hypercard, and the BBN SGML based mailsystem, in fact SGML itself, as a predecessor to HTML markup (there was an active "why did we use HTML and not SGML" conversation crossing over into XML days). Web did not happen in a vacuum. Gopher and WAIS existed.
It's important to understand the distinctions between a protocol (HTTP/S, TLS, QUIC) and an encoding (XML, HTML) and a governance structure (or lack of it)
It's important to distinguish between what architects think they are designing as the built environment, and what people actually use space for. And that is true in meat space as well as hyper space.
