But who cares?

Web 2.0 is NOT a standard, it's just a media buzz-word.

It reminds me of two guys I once overheard debating what
they considered to be the finer points of some Dungeons
& Dragons house-rule... on the grounds of "realism".

ARGH!

Just as D&D is not real, likewise, there is no standard
called "Web 2.0"

Buying into the lingo of propagandizers only empowers them,
and rarely for your benefit.
