 Shirky: In Praise of Evolvable Systems
These various protocols and services shared two important characteristics: Each was pursuing a design that was internally cohesive, and each operated in a kind of hermetically sealed environment where it interacted not at all with its neighbors.
Instead, there will almost certainly be some weak 'glue' or 'scaffold' protocol, perhaps SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) or another XML variant, to allow anyone to put multimedia elements together and synch them up without asking anyone else's permission.
As with the early Web, the 'glue' protocol subsumes the other protocols and produces a kind of weak integration, but weak integration is better than no integration at all, and it is far easier to move from weak integration to strong integration than from none to some.
