Strictly speaking you are correct Richard.
To be more precise http and html are merely a legacy of  hypercard/hypertalk.
I beg your pardon I will try to be more precise.
Wikipedia too is not written by experts, so you can alter their facts if you fell they are

We are all to a certain extent captives of legacy.
I am on many lists and find that I sometime grab a convenient answer without properly
checking it validity.

Cheers and rosuccess
