I think I understood the point you are trying to make
here but just like to set the record straight.

10 years ago, there was www/html already. I was a
visiting engineer at CERN's networking division
between end of '92 and 6/93. www (port:80)traffic had
already been flowing in the net there. One of my
projects was to collect traffic volume by port and do
some analysis of the network there. The volume of
port:80 traffic was not high at the time but was
definitely there. 

cheers!
