Consider a modification of HTML and HTTP to permit "infinite" documents. Instead of crashing the browser, the browser only loads a screenful (or so) at a time.
It is the byte-range selection of HTTP likely supercharged, with ability to select portions of an HTML document tree.
Currently, this is implemented with AJAX, for example the infinitely scrollable Google Maps.
Previously : html filesystem, automatic tree pruning.
Inspired by Haskell's lazy data structures.
