> We need simpler protocols and formats

But we do! It doesn't get much simpler than HTML/CSS/JS. It's just abused to make apps instead of web documents.

There is no possible interpretation under which JS fits “simpler protocols and formats,” and no world in which JS could form part of a truly secure network client environment.

Hm. HTML, maybe. CSS and JS? No way. View the CSS here sometime:

That you can do complicated things with it does not make it complicated.
