All fair points. But there's no reason that these things, like ARIA standard, aren't added. That is independent of WebAssembly standard. I did not mention "Google Web" for no reason. The "promise of Web 1.0" in terms of being open is near dead with Google DRM's and the browser oligopoly and all that jazz.

Also mentioned Web 2.0 for a reason. The "cram full-blown app into browsers" web, that uses Rube Goldberg machines behind the scenes. Joking aside, these (btw, also opaque) dynamic applications can hugely benefit from a new paradigm. While the Web itself can go back more to its original 1.0 roots of hypermedia, and allowing more and simpler browsers to wield its content.
