Implements some of the major features of Xanadu in a web browser,
including transclusions and micro-payment royalties. Just try it out.
I was amazed. If you want to read about it first, see
http://hypertext.sf.net/token_word/token_word.pdf

Although not as graphically fancy as the Web (yet), it has the most
important elements needed to replace the World Wide Web as we know it
now. If you sign up for an account, you get 50,000 demo tokens free,
to purchace that many characters of text. You can later buy more
tokens at 1 million for a dollar using PayPal. When you read
someone's document, tokens are transferred from your account to the
author's. When someone reads your document, you get paid in tokens.
If someone quotes your document, you get paid every time someone
reads your words. The non-demo tokens have cash value.
