It's retarded to think HTML1,2,3,4,5,etc,9000+,XHTML1.X,JavaScript (look no version),XML,JSON, with more actually resembles anything you would touch with a shit stick, let alone put on a pedestal like 99% of you developers actually do.
The entire web environment is pure junk and you should be ashamed for perpetuating the notion that it is perfect or irreplaceable (which is actually what you believe). As I said, any CS student could come up with something that would be infinitely better in a week at most, and what do we have if not >> 25 mentioning the obvious step to take, standardize on a low level to make sure different implementations can not fuck it up. That's the first thought any sensible programmer would come to.
What you fail to realize though is that many major issues has actually not be solved yet, and can not be solved ever by the mess we have to day. Such as true seperation of content and presentation (or harder, the reverse where the presentation *is* the content and the presentation has to be precise), hell, why not let the presenter define how and what content and presentation is so we could throw the entire issue out of the window, or why not consider arbitrary security constraints, surely your bank would like to have higher constraints than your random shitposting site of choice. But all this goes way over your head, none of it is possible to consider where you are at the moment.
