Kate Bush CDROM & Information Exchange using HTML

The previous post on the Kate CDROM made me think of a 
Love-Hounds CDROM.

With the Web gaining poularity and the free access to Web browsers
across ALL platforms, I suggest in the distant future Love-Hounds 
put together a CDROM that users can browse using Mosaic.

There could be copyright problems, but not if its a non-profit
project (my assumption here).

I hear that large pressings of CDROMs are quite cheap nowdays.

Is this a good idea? 

I remember a post on gaffa that HTML was suggested as a standard information
exchange for Kate-related information rather than ASCII files. 

If we all adopt this standard early on we could easily compile each 
other's projects (eg. cloudbusting etc) (and webs) onto a CDROM.

Should we look at standardizing news postings so that that use included
HTML references for Web news browsers?
