Well, it is hard (undecidable in fact) to determine what is necessary and what is unnecessary. If being a real hard liner everything from the kernel up (or even below that) is unnecessary "bloat". "Who needs webbrowsers? You can view the html on the terminal."

I take it you've never heard me rant on how HTML itself is a bloated mess. :-)

To be honest, I'm not convinced we need anything past wikipedia-style syntax for web pages. It has tables and everything. Shift presentation to the client. Everything else is bloat... and harmful bloat at that. Why does some guy that works for Company B get to tell me what fonts and colors and layout my computer should use for content?

Just for the record, I'm actually a design student...
