I agree. I think it's really inertia that keeps us here. People look up to the W3C and the garbage they come up with. I just saw my coworker using Axure for prototyping and I was impressed - it creates working prototypes with clickable buttons that perform functions and calculations. It's basically what making webpages should be. Except it isn't. Why don't they just make that compilable and distribute a viewer to compete with web browsers? Inertia.

Except it isn't. Why don't they just make that compilable and distribute a viewer to compete with web browsers? Inertia. That's been done - with Flash, for example. Azure is suitable for building prototypes. It's not a replacement for the arbitrarily flexible set of visual, semantic and development tools that HTML, CSS and Javascript offers.
