One of the key reasons behind the explosive growth of the Web is the simplicity and ease of use of the underlying standards - TCP/IP, HTTP, and HTML. Experts and critics have often argued about what's wrong with HTML and HTTP and why we need IPv6 et al. For instance, with the advent of XHTML, we are now realizing why HTML should have probably been XML-ized from Day 1; similarly, we criticize the fact that HTTP is stateless. However, the ubiquity of these standards has easily surpassed their technological imperfections.
