A better alternative may lie in strenuously encouraging all browser developers to support published standards, as well as established conventions.

I am one of those persons who does not see the complexity and ‘stack depth’ of the ‘web 2′ and ‘web 3′ era. I’m very much a fan of the ‘KISS’ or ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid’ approach.

Why have a client-side UI embedded in a browser? Why code in a way that, by nature of the legacy infrastructure, must be splattered almost randomly across the (very different) dynamic push-pull, stateful (web 2) and pull-only, stateless (web 1) paradigms?

Why don’t we draw a line in the sand between stateless one-way information internet data repositories and dynamic, 2 way stateful internet software systems.

The internet infrastructure is getting sloppy under it’s own momentum. As people who know something about data, software and networking, let’s not contributing to the growing mess of hodge-podge systems and (non)interoperability.

Both systems have some great things going for them, both have some issues. I think we should be pushing all browser developers to have better standards compliance. IE has made some great strides towards compliance in the last couple of major releases. It just isn't as hard to get things to look the same and thats nice. There is still much work to be done here.<br /> <br /> I'd really like to see "Web 3.0", web 2.0 is really more like web web 1.2 used wrong but in a really nice way. I think the browser paradigm is wearing a little thin. We need something that is made to handle stateful applications, not something that is hacked to.

I’d really like to see “Web 3.0″, web 2.0 is really more like web web 1.2 used wrong but in a really nice way. I think the browser paradigm is wearing a little thin. We need something that is made to handle stateful applications, not something that is hacked to.
