> First of all, you don't distribute self-contained components, you distribute text, markup, and media. Yes and that is one of the exciting innovations being worked on right now, web components.

NASA's flight control systems are really just calculators if you break it down as you have done with the web. At the worst you sound anti-technology, and at best, snobbish about your area of specialty. Implying that whatever you work on is important, but things others work on are 'just text'.
