Web "standards" are majorily screwed up. We can't build tools like interactive charts, such as an ERD editor, because the charting and drawing tools are separate from the data entry tools (INPUT tags etc.). And they still don't directly support rich GUI's. Thus, a lot of common UI idioms have to be reinvented via bloated buggy slow JavaScript libraries.
I propose web standards be refactored and split into 3 categories: A) Art, media, & entertainment. B) Documents and brochures, and C) CRUD, GUI, Data, productivity
They would overlap as much as practically possible, but could also specialize in their respective niche better.
