I like the idea of the web / js / DOM being for documents, but if you look at all the new browser javascript APIs it’s clear we’re constantly moving further and further away from documents. Once developers have all these tools available they build things and the cycle continues towards what seems like a pretty complete application runtime environment within the browser.

As long as web applications are necessarily embedded inside of SCRIPT elements, which are themselves necessarily embedded inside of HTML elements, then documents will always have priority over applications.
