I that was supposed to be

Hyper Text Markup Language

Its the "language" that hypertext documents are currently written in.

http is Hyper Text Trasnfer Protocol

Its the protocol that clients and serves uses to transmit HTML documents.

WWW is World Wide Web

Its just a general "concept" of all the different resources on the net
that are interconnected. gopher, ftp, http, wais, ...

And now back to our regularly schedualed Siouxsie discussion. Sorry for
the tangent there.
