web inherits UNIX console?

[David Young <dyoung%pobox.com@localhost>]

An idea that I keep turning over in my head and cannot put to rest is
that the web already has a lot better console abstraction, in the form
of DOM, than the glass teletype that UNIX uses now.  Maybe we should
switch?

Another idea I'm mulling is that web stuff like HTML5 (Canvas) + SVG
will eventually add up to a graphics console with a lot more seats,
portability, and capability than X11.

Thoughts?
