   • 1995, Gary Wolf, ""The Curse of Xanadu"", WIRED

     Did Nelson realize at the time that he had met Xanadus second parent? Probably not. The inventor scattered his ideas as widely as possible, with little care about where they landed. But as the decades passed, it would be Gregory who oversaw the attempt to transform Xanadu into a real product. He never received much public notice, but through all the projects painful deaths and rebirths, Gregorys commitment to Nelsons dream of a universal hypertext library never waned. If Ted Nelson is Xanadus profligate father, Roger Gregory is Xanadus devoted mother, and in retrospect, his role appears to have been intertwined with a terrible element of sacrifice.

2. (countable) A hypertext document.
