The main problem I see is that there is so little detail that I'm not sure what's being proposed. Many of the commenters here also seem to have varying ideas about what's being suggested. To have a chance, you need a clear vision, clearly articulated. The hard part will be finding a realistic roadmap to where you want to end up from where the Web is now, but that can come later.

As an example of the vagueness I'm talking about, you write "We would have some kind of gateway that would act as an identity provider (think OpenID) and a system you would put your stuff on." This doesn't say how this system is run, who owns it, who pays for it, or what the difference is from similar proposals that have already been tried.

The passion for making things better comes through loud and clear but the solution conveyed isn't much more specific than "let's make things better".
