>the eventual end of the document-based web

That sounds like the worst future possible. I love the fact that I can go to any web page and look at all of the HTML, CSS, JS (even if I need to use a tool to un-obfuscate it). Have you never wondered how someone did something and then looked at their code to find out how they did it? I love being able to use curl and wget to grab a web page. How would that work in a non document-based web? I really think this would be a terrible thing if it actually came to fruition. I truly hope I'm retired or dead before it occurs.




That's already an issue with minified JavaScript. Can we still call minified JavaScript "Web" ? What about non-minified JavaScript?
