across sites. That does nothing to integrate the old page/hyperlink model of the web with the new dynamic HTML5 model, but as Nick said, simply piles more of the dynamic stuff on top.
Actually, it does, as the logic is moved more into elements. Like Angular and Polymer.
That actually makes some sense for a document format, which is what HTML originally was. It makes no sense for a vector graphics format like SVG, where efficiency is key.
I'd think the opposite, that binary format makes sense for PDF since it is an enduser format, but it is easier to debug when text so it is probably text for the same reasons as SVG.
For SVG I want flexibility and transparency. It would be counterproductive if it was not in XML. Editing would be horrible. And yes, I edit SVG by hand, PDF too. I don't think I've ever used SVG or built PDF generators without manually editing either format as raw text.
Because writing it once in HTML/CSS/JS takes you much longer than writing it in Java, while being less responsive, then you
Dunno about less responsive. Java apps often feel more sluggish than well written web apps. Java is probably better for larger programs, but most programs aren't large. Many programs are just simple interfaces to online databases.
