I miss bbs’s, gopher and nntp. I’m serious: They were much more user-respecting than the web.

  It's strange isn't it? In other areas there are so many projects no one can keep up. Now that html has grown into an application platform I would like to see some new document types. Say, turn readability into its own document type. Headings, text images and video. Give it a sticky hamburger menu with links in it. A spec for how the user should be able to style the doc. A protocol to check for new versions. Then freeze it forever. Similarly there could be standard forms the way the paper world has them. Or something else that bags a bunch of obvious permissions into one easy to use thing.
