No, I think those the EXACT goals you (and the community) should be
focused on.

You want to be pushing the community towards the use of the formats of the
Open Web Platform (<http://www.w3.org/wiki/Open_Web_Platform>) as defined
by the W3C, which includes the technologies that you've listed and more.
It's also something in flux, just as the web itself is.
 
Just trying to help you focus your goals into something that everyone can
understand and work from.
