6 . 5 . 3 Inline versus External on the Web
As we've just concluded our discussion of language versus WYSIWYG, it is appropriate to compare the two integration mechanisms available for Web browsing. In much the same way that document processing systems have evolved from languages to WYSIWYG, Web browsers are evolving from a collection of loosely integrated "helper" applications to tighter integrated inline systems.
Lost in all the technical whiz-bang demos and slick Web pages we see is the supremely important issue of the user interface. The most significant problem with the external helper application approach is the change in user interface that a user must endure. One second you're happily clicking on links and the next moment some foreign application pops up and you must figure out what to do. Of course, the use of external applications is a good way of distributing new types of data formats before going through the labor of integrating that data type with your browser.
