Can We Extend the Web Cleanly?

A week ago, a lot of us were at the Extensible Web Summit, talking and 
listening about possible futures for the Web.

I wrote up my thoughts on the Manifesto, the Summit, and the challenges 
ahead at:

I suspect that much of what we think of as a technical conversation will 
succeed or fail because of how humans apply the tools we create.

I also wonder what impact Famo.us and its cousins will have on the 
discussion - it's still built with web tech, but with an utterly 
different backbone architecture.

The Summit certainly convinced me that there will be a lot of change 
coming over the next few years.  While different people had different 
priorities, there was plenty of enthusiasm for the project as a whole, 
from all quarters.

Thanks,
