They can create or augment data types and add their own views. They can use their own front ends to work with data. In fact, browsers tomorrow are expected to be more interactive and rely on server processing less - a server can just provide raw data, the application can be in the browser. | Of course, other systems have and are gaining semantic features.

This yields other benefits. Today many sites don't pay much attention to accessibility - use of sites by people with reduced vision, for example. On a well designed site with good structure and cues, a person with disabilities can be greatly enabled, perhaps more so than people who just read a page from top to bottom. But on poorly designed sites, it can become extremely tedious or impossible to access data.
