Oh, is this what Eric was talking about? I thought by "distributed computing concepts" he was talking about managing things like partial failure, desirable degree of network transparency, evolution and extension, etc.. All things that the Web already addresses. If he meant those things, then I agree (sort of - e.g. ACID isn't suitable for the Internet).
