I entirely agree that Engelbart deserves full recognition for his
achievements. At the same time, I think we also should note that
Ted Nelson was publishing articles about "hypertext" in '65, and
Vannevar Bush lucidly explained his vision for textual linking in
'45. With a little provocation, I can push the ideas of "mechanical"
or "machine" referencing back at least to the Enlightenment, and
arguably much farther.
