Web 2.0 applications have become popular as drivers of
new types of Web content, but they have also introduced a
new level of interface design in Web development; they are
focusing on richer interfaces, user-generated content, and
better interworking of Web-based applications. The current
foundations of the Web 2.0, however, are strictly imperative

which are robust, interoperable, and backwards compatible.
Using a declarative approach for Web 2.0 applications,
this new wave of applications can be built on a more robust
foundation which is more in line with the Web’s style
of using declarative methods whenever possible. We show
a path how today’s imperative Web 2.0 applications can be
regarded as a testbed as well as a first implementation for a
revised version ofWeb 2.0 technologies, which will be based
on declarative markup rather than imperative code.
