Is anyone working on alternatives to HTML, CSS and JavaScript? What would it require?
The more I dive into HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, the more I hate them. I mean, we are all coping with their inconsistencies, adding extensions to them like template engines like Less/Compass or jQuery, like there's no other way.
But I can't help wondering how web languages would look like if they were invented today. Obviously, separating structure, styling and behavior is a good thing. But what if we could create a new language trio to replace the infamous 3? What if we could get rid of the box model? What if we had a real OOP behavior language? What if we could inject variables in our styling?
What would it require? We could reuse some existing languages like ActionScript or Dart, or create new ones. We would have to create another rendering engine from scratch and make it available as a browser plugin. And these technologies could be part of an open source project to avoid the standardization vs innovation tradeoff.
Has anyone heard of such an initiative somewhere? Has anyone already wished we could get rid of these ascending compatibility quirks?

It separates HTML into two seperate files, one for data serialisation (XML type), and object positioning (markup), and it gives a different alternative to CSS.
