Need some input and you may get quoted ;-) What do you feel are the most important or the most important needs we should retain as we evolve the Web? Choices can be from any area of Web design, dev, UX, #a11y etc. Thank you!

A renewed emphasis on web standards, along with more formal training for web developers. (And these are related)

I'd be happy with a real semantic web you know like it was supposed to grow into

Agreed. And a real sementic web would address so many accessibility issues.
