Privileging and Hypertext
Privileging of information ties into my view of the usefulness of hypertext theory. Though I wouldn't say hypertext theory boils down to the idea of privileging, I do think it's important in helping understanding the usefulness of hypertext. As with the Bartons' conception of creating more effective visuals and Beverly Sauer's notion of producing more effective accident reports (which both stress the idea making more information available rather than privileging only certain information), hypertexts are more effective when they use panoptic modes.
