I don’t drink alcohol x) but I pretty much got the idea yeah ^^ > There is lots that is 'broken' with the web and I suspect much of it we > will just have to live with and hope whatever the next evolution brings > us learns from our mistakes. Indeed. But just waiting “whatever next evolution”, is not the good attitude I believe. Lisp and Emacs are great grounds for experimentation and improvement I believe too. What interest me is exiting as much as possible from the web, while trying to stay somewhat compatible with the good things, but even more with older and better things (RFC822, nntp, dsssl, semiology studies, true logical programming, etc.). I recall the time I was full of energy and constantly changing whatever was producing or containing html to make it more semantic, one day I should find again the energy to do that for multiple org backends, and, related to non-semantical org-backends, try to unify that to if not some stylesheet system, customizations used by elisp web browsers such as w3 or eww.
