Side comment, for students... One way to do this kind of distributed 
hypertext Web page (for now; Tim Berners-Lee is giving a relevant big 
talk at MIT next week) is to start with an mid-1990s declarative model 
for all the content of the page (with minimal tweaks for HTML5), then do 
the CSS in terms of those structural elements and of any structural 
extensions you add (`div`, `span`, `id`, etc.).  More bold static 
graphic design can be accomplished with the use of `img` (with `alt` 
attributes), more CSS, and SVG.  Very judicious JS can be used for any 
dynamic graphic design that is not already covered by CSS and the layout 
engine, while keeping the static HTML semantic such that the page could 
usually still be viewed in a mid-1990s Mosaic (not that that's the goal, 
but it's a good test to be clear about where and how the content of the 
page should usually be encoded.  (Then you use usually limit dynamic 
content to contexts that are inherently dynamic, not, as some do now, to 
use piles and piles of JS HTML frameworks as a GUI toolkit, to 
approximate the model that has always existed for the static, while 
breaking the Web as a distributed hypertext.)
