I'm increasingly baffled by ppl who draw a distinction between "the web" & "the browser". Most interesting properties are abt the browser.
user agent implies arbitrary media types; the web (like it or not) is about web content, which is defined by web specs

what you're interested in is the more abstract idea of hypermedia or REST, not the web.

I think that it's hypermedia that makes the web a “web”. I guess I'm misunderstanding what you mean by “web” in this context.

that view of the web is too abstract -- making it so abstract loses track of the interop benefits of more concrete
-
links and forms are not abstract.
@TheAmazingRando -
hyperlinks and <form>s are in HTML.

and HAL and Cj and Siren and UBER and Mason
@TheAmazingRando -
I don't remember seeing <form> in HAL. HAL is hypermedia but not the web.

See "templated=true" in HAL spec
