Agreed. Those are important! I think replication is basically our #1 technical selling point.
However... These are still "how" and not "why". "Of the web" is more approaching the why, but it's still mostly "how". For the why, I am thinking something more akin to the sorts of stuff that CouchDB can enable. The peer-to-peer replication of apps and datasets. Of being able to have your data everywhere. Why? Why are these things important to us? Replication is great (super great) but what purpose is it serving? What ultimate goal is it helping us to edge closer to?
