WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - Tim Berners-Lee will become a Knight Commander, Order 
of the British Empire for his work inventing the World Wide 
Web.  Announcement of the honor for the British citizen who lives in the 
United States was made Wednesday by Buckingham Palace.
"This applies to the whole Web development community, and to the inventors 
and developers of the Internet, whose work made the Web possible," the 
48-year-old said in a statement.  "I accept this as an endorsement of the 
spirit of the Web  ...of making best efforts to ensure its fundamental 
technologies are available to all."
