It may be more difficult initially to develop a generic hypertext browser than a
specific front-end for a particular information system. However, the decoupling
of the client and server programs by the "information bus" pays off as more
clients and servers are plugged in and universal readership is achieved. Writing
a server for new data is generally a simple task because it requires no human
interface programming. - Tim BernersLee, JeanFrançois Groff, Bernd Pollermann;
