100% agree. One big challenge is that we've made browsers and the full list of web specs so complicated that we're likely not going to see any new browser rendering engines competing any time soon.

Ideally we would all take a bit of a step back and throw out old specs that aren't needed and improve the ones that need it, like styling support for built-ins. Unfortunately we're at the whims of Google and Appe though, and I can't imagine they would ever be interested in such a potentially large rewrite to their browsers when it functions as-is
