I would like HTML files to mostly replace pdf documents. However, they lack a couple things: * A way to save back form data. I believe google is working on a js api to access local files (given a few conditions). * A way to bundle the html with every js script, ressource, css, etc, in one file, without making a huge mess. If you had a tar.gz with an index.html inside, and the browser was to transparently allow r/w access to the archive contents from contained js scripts, this could solve a lot of use cases (heck, even "electron" apps could be replace by this). One exception being printed documents (postscript), at which pdf is quite good.
