A piece of content has to stand on its own (at least on a physical level; obviously works are embedded in their cultures), because reading is still a fundamentally linear activity (and watching a video more so). Displaying a composite piece of content derived from multiple sources is a rainbow people have been chasing since before the web (see xanadu), but it still looks as far away as ever.

I don't know why I said barely - should have said 'doesn't solely stand on it's own.' But of course ideally it would be nice if it had meaning all by itself.
