Please post the paper.  If we can't apply these ideas to our own technology,
what better proving ground will we find?

Also, have you looked at Donald Knuth's WEB system and his ideas of literate
programming?  Hypertext would seem to be a natural way of integrating that
idea into an overall CASE structure.  (Being able to pull out literate 
technical documentation for blasting through a document process, like TeX,
could always remain an option, even if one that hypertext would tend to
make less necessary.)
