What should follow the web?
What if anyone in the world who had an idea for a &quot;new web&quot;, could build it tonight, and have it used tomorrow?<p>My solution to the &quot;new web&quot; problem is radically different (though to be fair, trying to reinvent the web is in itself a radical idea).<p>I&#x27;ve posted my idea to many similar threads, so I apologize for repeating myself, but I feel pretty passionately about it and I feel it&#x27;s a good idea to try to spread.  Until I start receiving convincing evidence &#x2F; arguments that the idea isn&#x27;t worth spreading I&#x27;ll probably continue.<p>Imagine if we didn&#x27;t have to decide what the &quot;new web&quot; was going to be, BUT we did allow that experimentation to take place?  I say we shouldn&#x27;t make it a requirement to &quot;convince people it&#x27;s the right thing to do before it gets built and people start using it&quot;.<p>What if users didn&#x27;t use &quot;browsers&quot;.  Instead they used &quot;meta browsers&quot;.  An application which hosts browser engines.  And not only could apps &#x2F; documents &#x2F; etc. be downloaded by this &quot;meta browser&quot;, but the experience of switching between browsers was also seamless to the end user.  If they didn&#x27;t already have that browser engine they would be prompted to download it if a particular app &#x2F; document developer decided they were supporting it.<p>In this &quot;new web&quot;, the &quot;document &#x2F; app&quot; developer decides which browser engine the &quot;meta browser&quot; should render their app with.<p>What if a browser engine developer decided he didn&#x27;t want to support RFC <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tools.ietf.org&#x2F;html&#x2F;rfc3986" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tools.ietf.org&#x2F;html&#x2F;rfc3986</a><p>It probably feels like they&#x27;re on a suicide mission (for their browser), but why should it be a &quot;requirement&quot;?  If the ideas are bigger and better and eventually catch on (ie. things we haven&#x27;t even thought of yet) why should &quot;the web&quot; somehow dictate what core set of ideas are the right ones?
