Reinventing History (was: Introduction to HTML 3.2 (PostScript))

During that summer, the media blitz over "Jim Clark and the Mosaic
boys" had been relentless. Would such "talent" find a way to support
stylesheets?

Nope. With fanfare, flourish and folderol, <CENTER> and <FONT> came

Web standards now have their own historians. Did you know that Netscape invented presentational tags like <FONT> AFTER CSS was announced? Just to introduce support for that “breakthrough new development” few years later.
