It's probably really a semantic argument, but I mostly disagree with
this characterization.  There are a bunch of pieces of "a system
designed for hypertext," but most of them are either specific to
hypertext (e.g. HTML) or necessarily common (e.g. server hardware), so
I'll focus on HTTP, which I think is what you meant anyway.
