This wouldn't work for any web page that has dynamic content stored in a database. If the database no longer exists a decade from now this doesn't solve that problem.
Also, wouldn't this break analytics and reporting for most websites too? It'll be much tougher to track user behavior to improve user experience. And debugging using log data? I get what the author is suggesting but "fixing the web" this way would break more things that large websites and companies rely on.
- seiji 12y ago> It'll be much tougher to track user behavior to improve user experience. That sounds tragically Orwellian. "We do [BAD THING] to help you! [and it also, just by chance, makes us more money too by exploiting you, but never you mind that]" > break more things that large websites and companies rely on. The historical "spy everywhere" privacy model of the web isn't a natural state anybody has a right to exploit. Breaking the current centralized curation model would be a benefit for everyone.

- corin_ 12y agoIt's fine to be that stubborn if you can win. But against the world of business that needs analytics... I suspect their business model trumps your technology for now.
- larrys 12y ago"Also, wouldn't this break analytics and reporting for most websites too?" True but that's a "YP" not a "MP". (Bogie Nights, "Your problem" not "My Problem". I mean we're not talking about a public health issue after all.
