Ask HN: You can reinvent browser UI technologies, what would you do differently?

A lot of people criticise websites for not sticking to simple HTML and CSS. They vehemently refuse to allow JavaScript.

A lot of people criticise HTML for being terrible at defining layouts.

Given that the web is not just for text and images, but more of an app delivery platform, how would you alter the current state of HTML/CSS/JS to make it better and simpler?

Or perhaps you think it's great as it is, and any alternative would have equivalent drawbacks?

Interested to hear your thoughts!
