It would be awesome if the layers of the browser would allow for a more parseable, document-based web. That would be an effort towards standardization.

But are you really advocating for removing dynamic media from the browser? That seems like an incredible step backwards in most regards. In the absence of a desktop toolkit to rule them all, browser standardization is what we are left with right?

Qt. Runs everywhere, works everywhere, just fine.


If only some standards group somewhere could mandate that everyone use Qt.


Ah, this gets into gpl vs bsd though doesn't it? I'm not sure what to think about dual licensing. I have a fondness for Qt, but I also like tcl/tk so... its hard not for me to think of that xkcd about standards. https://xkcd.com/927/
