Neil McAllister raises questions regarding the Web now that it no longer resembles Tim Berners-Lee's early vision: Is the Web still the Web if you can't navigate directly to specific content? If the content can't be indexed and searched? If you can't view source? In other words, McAllister writes, if today's RIAs no longer resemble the 'Web,' then should we be shoehorning them into the Web's infrastructure, or is the problem that the client platforms simply aren't evolving fast enough to meet our needs

To me the web is HTTP delivered over TCP. When that changes, I'll agree that the web has changed. The changes to the *content* of the web is just a natural evolution created by the free market, entrepreneurs and demand. No technology based industry stays still for long, and that's the way I like it.
