You think "complexity" is "proliferating standards and granular tags". I think that is the easy part. Complexity to me is made by force-sharing and re-using incompatible but similar specs just to avoid duplication. That's the real complexity. Forcing existing kinds/content types that were not made for it into a given user experience. That's the real complexity. The number of NIPs is only a complex thing if your goal is to code all of them. If your goal is to just do one really well, then there is nothing complex about it. And most apps just need to do a few of them.
