It's a bit of a shame that HTML went from describing documents to describing UIs. I do miss the days of simple websites, although I'm not old enough to remember the old old internet.

    What's the alternative? Or an alternative I guess I should say. I agree though, I wish folks would use HTML for all documents. Like why the hell am I downloading a PDF of a thing I'm never printing? (PDFs are still acceptable for printing though.)

    I don't think there's anything wrong with using HTML/XML-ish format for describing a UI (although having a standardized presentation format that all "viewers/browsers" follow exactly the same way would be nice), I'm just sad that websites have become described as UIs rather than as well-structured documents.
