Scenario:
Colin O. Nash is a graduate student in computer science. He set up a simple web page to contain some scenarios for a design project. He wanted to allow the others in the design project to edit the scenarios. When he realized he was going to have 17 scenarios, he decided to break up the single page into a hierachy of pages based on rough groupings of the scenarios. He did this with a clever combination of links and embedded objects. However, this structure made the source code somewhat unreadable, so Colin further subdivided the pages so the text to be edited would be on a page with minimal formatting artifacts. This required considerable effort. Colin was often frustrated that the full editor did not have an undo feature. He struggled through eventually achieving the structure he wanted. It didn't help that some of his frustrations were caused by inconsistent rendering by Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, he used so much time that he was late turning in his project.
