I agree. Although at some sufficient level of abstraction WWW and HTML are
separate topics, the two are so tightly intertwined (IMHO) that it is
worthless for me to even bother to try personally archiving HTML messages
separately from WWW messages -- they are all dumped in the same folder (MS
Mail :)). If HTML use on the Web drops to only a small percentage of total
Web use, I for one will reconsider the split idea.
