Check out the quick sketch at

I agree completely with your point of view. It is
essential to find some way to keep it simple the
way Norman managed to do with WEB. I think the
trouble with powerful (i.e. very flexible and
expressive) languages like XML is that there is an
urge to become less "humble" (in the sense of Edsger
Dykstra).

I hope that his work will continue to inspire
et another generation of programmers.
