What a good point! The web would be much nicer looking if browsers accepted pages written in LaTeX as well as pages written in HTML.

After all TeX is all about high quality printing on paper.

A TeX distribution on my computer (mactex) is like 4 gigabytes. Definitely not "bundle-with-a-web-browser" worthy.

Browsers already accept PDF. TeX files aren't portable.

Exactly. That's why they should handle device independent output.

Well, I want to retire and not have to work for another 30+ years, but I guess we do not always get what we want :(
