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.
some long-lived terminology debate where the stakes of this are much higher than I would expect.

I am not saying hypermedia is not useful (I'm the author of a hypermedia spec)
-
I'm saying there's a useful distinction between hypermedia and "the media type used by browsers"
-
and "web standards" are largely concerned with that media type.
-
when ppl say "move the web beyond browsers", they're usually conflating things in an unhelpful way
-
if you're saying "the arch of hyperlinks is broadly useful" I agree. Hypermedia's what ppl call that.
-
fwiw "wow. I'm done" on Twitter is really quite aggressive. Worth asking clarifying questions first.
-
I understand (and have acted on) the desire to say stuff like that before, but 1/
-
I've found saying it after a few rounds of slinging words back and forth is a missed opportunity 2/2
