From Tim Bray
I disagree with virtually every technical argument Ted Nelson has ever made and (in most cases) the implementations are on my side, but it doesn't matter; Ted's place in history is secure because he asked more important questions than just about anybody. I think he usually offered the wrong answers, but questions are more important.
The thread that produced these gems is Ted Nelson's "XML is Evil" which revisits Ted Nelson's classic rant Embedded Markup Considered Harmful.
