This seems like something we could (should?) have right now. Maybe IA should write a Wordpress plugin, if they haven't?
>Think about creating an archive of software as well, that perhaps may have to include emulations of defunct hardware and operating systems to make the Web always backwards compatible.
A site that archives software and runs it in js-based emulators sounds like a great idea. It would probably be illegal, though. And it almost certainly wouldn't work properly for everyone, as long as it depended on the browser. But still a great idea. That any runtime and software can have a URL is incredibly compelling.
Maybe we need to leave the browser model for documents and come up with something else for using what amounts to streaming software?
>Change the naming system, and stop thinking of the URL as a location—it’s a name, a format he picked to look like a Unix file name simply because people were comfortable with that.
YES. No TLDs, just unique arbitrary strings.
