> every problem that Mozilla brings up in this report stems from them, and other browser developing corporations, treating web pages as applications instead of as documents. What do you mean by this? The problems they bring up essentially boil down to increasing user access to privacy, security, and new features. Locking people into default browsers put us back into the stagnant, horrible IE6 era. The only thing I can figure out is you're saying if client-side scripting didn't exist, some of these would be less pressing. Which is true, but it does exist, so the choice is abolish/avoid it (good luck getting mass user adoption!), or deal with it.
