With users (including myself) becoming more and more used to web
browsers, the traditional "info way" of presenting references looks
old-fashioned, and is IMHO a real obstackle to a "natural reading
flow".
There is the difference. The more often I read a document with a Web
browser, the more angry I get at Berners-Lee for inventing a broken
format! It is impossible to navigate through a multi-page HTML
document using regular expression searches!
In a Web browser, there is no way you can get into a "natural reading
flow" in which you move around a document using the comforts and
efficiency provided by computers over the past two decades.
A Web browser is a time machine into the dark ages.
