I feel like the "bizarre mishmash" problem is really unavoidable. Any technology that is useful enough will gain widespread acceptance. Once that happens, lots more people want it do to lots more things. You can't keep the bad ideas out. That's just the way things go. I do, however, think that mature ecosystems find a good equilibrium between consistency and completeness after a while. It seems to me that the web is beginning to approach this.
