I think Steve Newcomb should be given primary credit for HyTime. (02)
I attended one of his early presentations on the HyTime Architectural
Forms at Hypertext 89 in Pittsburgh. (03)
I would describe it as an SGML application that enabled representation
of time-based media, extending it beyond the "text" in hypertext. I
remember that, in an unpublished book draft, John B. made a reference to
HyTime in a presentation by SoftQuad's Yori Robinsky, an early developer
of SGML browsers. (04)
But Newcomb occasionally contributes to this forum himself. So I hope
that he addresses any connections between HyTime and early browser history. (05)
