It would be actually quite nice to split the Web into two very distinct parts, but not Chinese and American as Schmidt predicts, but into documents and apps. Documents is the traditional, HTML-based web, that must absolutely stay open. The apps part is the aspect that is constantly evolving, and that becomes more and more complex year by year, and already DRM and other non-free and non-open components are implemented in popular browsers so that people may use it to access protected content.
We might as well stop pretending there is one web and split it into two. I will continue to use the document-based web using lightweight browser that don't need any JS functionality, and will only venture to the app-based "web" when I need, probably using another browser, maybe even in a virtual machine.
