i think that, in terms of journals, the answer is no - let the documents stand alone as they are. that's the point.

let the interactive documents exist as a front end for the period discs, which are isos.

but, should the liner notes have an html mirror, as a third part? if so, it makes sense to embed, right?

yeah.

so,

1) let the journals stand as they are. pure text. pure data.
2) when the journals are integrated into the aleph isos, make them interactive with the local files over html.
3) make the liner notes so that they're interactive with local files in html format, at least for the file types that are supported. so, if you download the record, you get an interactive document.

so, i'll need to add html files to inri000 and keep them going, moving forward.
