Knowledge arises at the junction of doctors and patients.
A lot of it stays just on one side (or both) of that junction.

So for the knowledge service, I disagree, we _should_ have clinicians 
placing information on the web, and preferably, highly preferably, on the 
semantic web.  I defined it a while back as a new professional obligation 
for doctors.

Tim Berners-Lee intended and envisaged from the outset that browsers would 
be editors for web pages, and he was not wrong.

If we mean by building web pages substantially more complex information 
containment structures, then your argument becomes more true.
