I can understand where you're coming from, but to draw the line further back, are you also suggesting we remove images, flash, applets, javascript? These things didn't exist when the web was born... The web evolved and in so doing opened up new opportunities. Web applications that don't work like conventional pages are merely another step in the Web's evolution. I'm not going to call it Web 2.0 or Web 3.0 or any other dumb branding gibberish, but truth be told, the web is still evolving into what visionaries see for its potential.
