edited the original to add quotes around 'mess' ... guess I'm just cranky from the javascript nightmares I've been having lately. I agree with letting evolution & competition do its work, so let me rephrase: "Given the opportunity to re-arrange the basic conditions out of which the internet evolved (TCP/IP, HTTP, SMTP, HTML, ...) what would you change." The choices encoded in these standards are as much ethical/philosophical as technical. Do we value security? Openness? Speed? I agree with IPv6 & getting rid of NAT on a technical level. What else?
