I wish their was greater demarcation between the web as an application runtime and as a document format.
I think the fact that web browsers have to be good at both has directly lead to a decrease in webbrowser diversity and a very limited number of rendering engines.
@satchmoz It was originally for documents, but then CGI scripts came along and brought server-side apps.
Then Javascript came along and the Web went straight to hell. Everything since then has been about taking a protocol that was designed for serving hypertext documents and turning it into one that serves apps.
I was thinking over a decade ago that we could use a separate protocol for apps instead of continuing to add more hacks to HTTP and HTML.
