/prog/ - S-expression HTML as Standard

Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to use opening and closing tags as DA STANDARD for SHITML? Are the people at W3 dumb?

For those who don't know what I'm talking about,
look how ugly and unnecessarily long HTML is.

<html>
<head>MY WEBSITE</head>
<title>MY WEBSITE</title>
<body>
<p>THIS KIND OF MARKUP IS <b><i><u>SHIT QUALITY</u></i></b></p>
</body>
</html>

But compared to the S-expressions

(html   (head "MY WEBSITE")
        (title "MY WEBSITE")
        (body (p "THIS MARKUP IS" (b.i.u "SATORI QUALITY"))))

It looks far cleaner and makes your eyes feel right at home. It's easier to parse and won't take up as a few kilobytes / megabytes (depending on the page) less Internet bandwidth. Sure it has a lot of parenthesis but it's more attractive than the repeating shitstorm of </tags>.

I know there are a lot of implementations to this but there should be one STANDARD to rule them all. The next version of HTML in the standard should be something like this.

Its a API standard that was dropped by W3C for database creation and management on a web browser, for making other datasets, like cookies, JSON files, flash balls, java bytecode, and the kind. The main reasoning behind the dropped is because the only implementation that supported it was SQLite at the time. No one else pitch in others, like SmallSQL , H2 DBMS, LevelDB, Kyoto Cabinet, LevelDB, LMDB, or Berkeley DB. But it was a great idea they should have kept, like they have kept Javascript, CSS, and HTML!
