Time to be an old grump for a moment.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. It's time to rewrite the browser. Invent, create, realize a new way of browsing the internet.
Forget HTML, JavaScript, FlashPlayer et al. Computers are powerful; why aren't browsers? Why can't you develop on the browser the same way you develop directly onto the operating system? Why isn't there a virtual machine to which you may directly target compilers? That way, you have your cake and can eat it, too.
I'm not saying the browser should be an operating system; it's an application. However, it should integrate with operating systems. For example, security is an OS problem; it should not be an application's problem. Why solve the same problem over and over again? There are realtime impacts to this: HTTP and HTTPS are heavy compared to TFTP.
I am saying that HTML is annoying. I don't think HTML5 will solve that problem - at least, it won't solve it anytime soon. HTML is to the browser like Java is to the OS: it's a language, a display and layout language. It defines the View.
