There is next gen web standards initiative namely BRAID that will make web to be more human and machine friendly with a synchronous web of state [1],[2],[3].

"Braid’s goal is to extend HTTP from a state transfer protocol to a state sync protocol, in order to do away with custom sync protocols and make state across the web more interoperable.

Braid puts the power of operational transforms and CRDTs on the web, improving network performance and enabling natively p2p, collaboratively-editable, local-first web applications." [4]
