Formatting bulleted chapters

This is a draft of an experimental formatting of Chapter 1, with the intention of offering an eaier-to-read version of the chapter, and based on an observation that the chapter - and the book - have a number of lengthy, complex pargraphs and the appreciation that as space is essentially unlimited, a digital environment is not constrained by the economics of producing fibre-based information habitats such as books

Note: The effect of the re-formatting tends to be enhanced with padding and constraints of the display, e.g. see http://habitat.igc.org/wealth-of-networks for full text, and http://habitat.igc.org/wealth-of-networks/ch-1.htm for non-wiki html version of Chapter 1
