  7. layers -- kind a like the onion by yintercept · · Score: 3, Informative

    The web is really a mixed bag that allows a mix of open standards, and proprietary software. To claim it is all open source is misleading. It is a dynamic network that allows development on multiple layers.

    The most important aspect of the web is that the interface of the different layers were well defined and exposed...not that each line of code in the different layers is exposed.
