Leading the web...elsewhere?

The W3C's motto is "Leading the Web to its Full Potential".  Ok, so 
assume the detractors are right - drop the Semantic Web vision (it's a 
pipe dream) and technologies (we have RDBMSs and pointy-brackets 
already). It goes without saying that you can drop the "Leading" (way 
too self-important) and "Full Potential" (outrageously optimistic).

But then where does the web go from here? To WS-* and beyond? How many 
more Xs are needed to satisfy the beast?

Or does the web do everything you want it to already?

Cheers,
Danny.
