You can be knighted but you can't use the title "Sir" - however you do get
"KBE" (I believe).  "Knight Benefactor" something or other I think.

He is British - you can't be knighted unless you are.

I remember coding for Lynx and Mosaic/Cello back in 95/6, great fun at
the time, then I got Netscape 0.9 and my surfing (and coding) life
changed forever...

According to Yahoo news, Tim Berners-Lee to be knighted,
URL, HYPERLINK
"http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=77&e=20&u=/mc/w3cheadbe
rnersleetobeknighted"http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=77&
e=20&u=/mc/w3cheadbernersleetobeknighted

Those of us would remember the days of using 'lynx', and later became
excited with Mosaic.

If freedom of thoughts is the cradle of creativity, where's European
continent's Berners-Lee?  Of course, I'm not blind to great French like
Voltaire and Hugo etc. etc....
