Yes, I was simply pointing out an area of concern, as I've been quite 
surprised that these issues are coming up at all - probably just shows my 
ignorance of the complexities of HTML5 and/or JavaScript standards.

Good points, reminders there are no single-solution magic bullets. . .

But I don't think plain text, including CSV as a file format will become 
difficult to work with for at least a few more generations, probably "never" 
IMO.

Regarding physical data storage, all but my multi-media files are small 
enough that they just stay with me, as standard hard drive sizes keep 
expanding faster than I can fill them with content - as long as I'm vigilant 
about moving my multi-media stuff offline, and I do transfer over to new 
optical discs, deciding what to keep and what to chuck every 2-3 years.
