Yes, I agree. And it seems that the author of this blog post agrees with that also, because he wrote: "If I could wave a magic wand, I would create an open working group, with the influence of the W3C behind me, to create a mandatory web standard for browsers that defines both a subset (to simplify and create an appropriate desktop security model) and an extension of CSS/HTML that is specifically optimized for marking up and implementing desktop applications, and have that all built into modern browsers as standard."
