That was really informative, thank you. Given the same rendering on browsers across platforms I imagine you could achieve the same effect as PDF, but it would be a spec on top of html+css, not inherently built for documents like PDF is as you said. There may be some differences in important edge cases, but PDF would still exist for business that relies upon it in that manner. I'm talking more of a replacement that fits the 90% of cases that don't deal with signatures and legally bound documents and such.
