imagination of web future

Recently, prepare my seminar, I found out something. web 2.0 change the way of end-user utilize the web.In the same time, RIA technology rise,  another web revolution are began in preparation stage. yes, growth of adobe Flash and Ms silverlight those embeded-version RIA(rich internet application) technology. why do I say that another web revolution? it does not refer to how end -users and software developers utilize the web,but rather to development technique.

if you are web developer, you should know traditional web development is using HTML and css for layout user interface, using javascript process client-side, and a server-side technology for exchange data  with database or other data store. But Flash and silverlight change original ecological of web development. How many html tags using in a flash-site or silverlight-site? Do you think web developer need html knowledge if he/she only build flash-site or silvelight-site? or a web developer who don’t know html and css can consider is a web developer if he/she only know flash and silverlight?

few year ago, I just thought flash can replace other client-side technology.unimaginable, today flash can access database already, through web service and http service and objectRemote method. It become more and more powerful.

do you think in future, html and css just can be a supporting role in web application?  or browser can direct compile XAML(silverlight) or MXML(flex) markup language in future?
