So I gather the "visible connections" refers to the lines from the document to the original source. What if I had a document with over 100 sources? Would lines just litter the whole screen? By then, you couldn't tell which line went where. It'd be like untangling messy wires.

I appreciate some of the features included with Xanadu, including 2-way links, transclusions, and versioning. But Ted's always tied it to this interface, which seems poor for reading. Couldn't links to the original source be hidden on command, so I can concentrate on what I'm reading, and not the distracting colors and lines?

I'm glad we didn't end up with xanadu.
