I don't see how this is true. HTTP is supposed to be a stateless, object-
oriented protocol which simply uses HTML as one of its glue objects. Neither
the protocol itself, nor the HTML spec state that the objects themselves must
be stateless, nor does it attempt to define the objects. While I mistrust
the embedded VM's in the browsers, and personally don't like applets, it
is in no way the fault of HTML or HTTP. The browser VM's just typically
suck. Used with a good VM, and in a secure/unrestricted area, applets can
be a great tool.
