> 1. The Drop-Down Menu
Don't (some) mobile devices trigger :hover states when elements are tapped on? If they don't, surely there's JS to fix that; and then users with a mouse can enjoy their agility, while mobile users have to make an extra tap. And you'll be happy to not have simply thrown it all away, too, when pixel-perfect gaze tracking finally gets invented.
> 6. Web Pages
Hang on there. The ability to bookmark and share links to individual sections is super important, it's what makes "Hyper Text" "hyper". "go to URL and then do X, Y and Z" won't fly, neither will being unable to restart your browser and continuing where you left off. But if you update the URL to reflect that current state, you kind of still have web pages, you see? It doesn't matter how shiny they are or how you transition them, they'll still be web pages. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
We already had Flash, long before Javascript could do much, and we already had attempts at quite elaborate and artistic websites, complete with intro and sections folding and fading and morphing - and even the good ones sucked from a "web" perspective. Good for viral marketing, annoying or even useless for extended use.
