I think it's about coming up with an answer to that question. I'm just trying to motivate some of the people on this mailing lists to come up with good answers.
You could call it "JavaScript Runtime". "Web Runtime" is used by Nokia and Azingo to describe their mobile frameworks (webkit+js+css+html5) for creating mobile apps. But OpenWeb runtime pretty much describes what you are aiming for, a runtime based on the standard which are created as part of the open web. Actually better than HTML5, but of course it's not as technical as Ajax or DHTML. In 12-18 months many people will be building mobile app with OL, and terms like RIA and Ajax are less relevant, especially with the mobile app success. Some of the open web folks have been saying that FF and Webkit are essentially the runtimes of the open web.
