Yes, let's get ready for... "Web^2" :-) Dan, you’ve just solved all the problems at once: the next big thing, the next way of saying the next big thing, and crazy punctuation – all at the same time.

We already have C++, C# and the ubiquitous use of "." (.net, .mac, etc...) How about but there's a whole range of punctuation still open for plundering. How about & or |?

In software, minor versioning is used to imply incremental updates: to fix bugs, polish functionality, and build user confidence. So howabout "Web 2.1"? Or "Web 2.0 Service Pack 1". Those would at least suggest that we were trying to make it successful (from the user's point of view) rather than leaping forward with more technological trickery for it's own sake. (More interestingly, let's discuss the next version of the '2.0 meme'? What's the next-big-way of describing the next-big-thing? :-) ) People seem so eager to leap to the next major version before they’ve got the current version working properly.
