Slightly different story at http://www.alexhopmann.com/xmlhttp.htm with an update regarding Bosworth:

Adam and his team (especially folks like Rod Chavez, Michael Wallent and many others, as usual I'm probably forgetting to mention some of the key people) invented the Dynamic HTML part which was miles beyond what Netscape was doing at the time. I just filled in the XMLHTTP piece, and collaborated with many others to do the first major app that tied it together (Outlook Web Access). Without the earlier contributions of the Trident/IE teams, it wouldn't have been possible, and its absolutely true that Adam and many folks he worked with had the conceptual vision for tying it together (he called it weblications at the time).

Note to OP: this blog was reference 6 in the Wikipedia article you linked to.



I feel that I want to now use the term "weblications".


Feel free to use it in the blogosphere.


Much obliged - totally missed it
