Your comment is funny in such that ; recall the web before CSS?

1990s web, with flashing tags and just infant monkeys trying to cobble together a webpage?

Your comment brings so many images to mind.

Now HTML¹ is an output target to Flash-like games, tunneled video chat, and the flashpoint of global communities versus corporate priorities.

We can still do flashing tags and cobble together webpages; all we need is a text editor.

That's one allure of programming: we can (re)invent primitives of everything, for better or worse.

¹ With CSS and Javascript

That web was so much easier to scrape, though.
