Did someone already make a monument of these words? They would look great carved in stone, with markup and everything:
<BODY>
<H1>World Wide Web</H1>The WorldWideWeb (W3) is a wide-area<A
NAME=0 HREF="WhatIs.html">
hypermedia</A> information retrieval
initiative aiming to give universal
access to a large universe of documents.<P>
Everything there is online about
W3 is linked directly or indirectly
to this document, including...
I wonder about that name attribute. Was it a tabindex equivalent?
The name attribute is used to create a named anchor. [1]
When using named anchors you can create links to a specific section on a page, instead of letting your viewer scroll around to find what he/she is looking for. Named anchors are called bookmarks in Expression Web.
NOTE: Not supported in HTML5. Use the global id attribute instead. Specifies the name of an anchor
You can also use the name attribute on the server side to identify the fields in form submits. [2][3]

Thanks, I remember it was replaced by the ID attribute, but in this case, it is not being used as a named anchor. It seem more like an index.
