It's the next logical step to me. We have the Link, Internet, and Transport layers pretty well sorted. The Application layer is the next in line and it seems likely the web is going to win. A good thing about the web winning(and possibly part of the reason it's winning)is it has a lot of the next(and possibly final) layer already standardized. I'm not sure what you'd call it, let's say the Semantic Layer, all our human shit. (HTML, XML, and all the data formats, etc).
