Two (numbered) web references after all (unnumbered) papers in "References" are slightly odd. How about merging the two "books" and all papers into a new section "publications", keep the two numbered references as "references", and move the "external links" (home page + Acorn 1) to the end? –

Last EL killed, I've added the Acorn 1 detail to "non-IBM", and the homepage is obviously used in almost all references. The problem here are not exactly the primary sources: The details like RFC 1945 (section acknowledgments, he is listed) also exist elsewhere, but his site presents it better. All those standards of course exist, and a part of the self-published sources is "peer reviewed", as good (or bad, depending) as 3rd party references. But if somebody pulls the plug on his server those sources need work, hopefully they are archived. –
