I think this line of criticism of web bundles misses the mark. It looks to me like the issues raised are perfectly possible and just as easy without web bundles -- that is, these may be legitimate issues, but are independent of web bundles.

My issue with web bundles is that it's yet another pile of complexity with very little incremental value over things that already exist. A poor tradeoff.

There's a substantial on-going cost to each web standard added so each one needs to "pay" for itself with broad or deep usefulness. Web bundles are just another way to skin a cat.
