True, there's a difference between wide-spectred content websites (typically the Internet) and applications (typically intranets). I would distinguish discoverable from addressable (think REST) in what it allows, particular in relation to a semantic web and a full fledged hypermedia system. Notice for instance, as you click on a message in GMail, how you navigate to a unique item under your inbox with the back button working as an undo. Could that be done with Silverlight, Flash and JavaFX?
