Not exactly. Some frameworks are evolving to
make using the classic HTML browser (ie, HTML
as the host language of a universal intergace)
less necessary. It is much cooler. I also said,
if we want to use the term "web browser", that
term becomes less descriptive of a specific
platform and becomes more a watered down way
to say, "web aware because it can use the
operating system web services without using
a line of HTML".

So when you said "the broswer lost", you meant "the browser evolved"? I know
that's less cool sounding, but saying so up front would have saved us all a
lot of talking past each other.
