Doesn't people want more formatting in their notes? I'm not talking about myself or HN crowd, but mainstream.
I don't really understand what you mean with the http and web stuff. I recently began downloading sites with the SingleFile Add-on for Firefox. I get a html file out of it. If I want to open it, I need something to render it. Which is my browser ,but could be something not web-related as well, couldn't it? Doesn't make it that a normal file format?

It is normal for an HTML file to point to resources outside the HTML file, that is, even if it is an HTML file on your hard drive it might point to images, Javascripts, etc. on other servers. It certainly is possible to draw a circle around an HTML document and put the resources into a ZIP file, that is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB I bring up the analogy with "CD Rom" because physical media are kinda on the outs today. There was the time I had to get a 30GB file somewhere overnight by the end of a sprint (I got DSL) and the people were shocked that I sent a Blu-Ray. Tell people that a USB thumb drive is a competitor for cloud storage for sharing files with friends and co-workers and they are absolutely scandalized.
