Hi Phil, (01)
I just did a quick skim of the draft plan and it looks quite good. I'll
go through it more thoroughly this evening. (02)
A few things to note: (03)
* Thanks for sending the PDFs. I actually came across the same
information about trademarks last night when I was searching myself.
There are actually two separate relevant serial numbers for the AUGMENT
trademark: 73647182 and 73256814. Both are considered dead. I've
documented the information on the wiki. Please see

* British Telecom sued Prodigy in 2000, based on a patent that they
owned, which they claimed covered "hyperlinks." However, they lost the
case. Interestingly, they did not lose based on prior art. The patent is
not related to any work done by NLS or Augment teams, and isn't relevant
at all, except for BT's original claims. But you should be aware of the
history and make your own conclusions.

* typo in your text - "Tymshare" (06)
