I'm not so sure about that.  It's great that there is a data transport 
protocol that we can all agree on to move web pages around the 
internet.  Same goes for mail (this isn't an argument for how good these 
protocols are :) and tcp/ip itself (itselves?).

I don't want to have several different identities so that I can be sure 
I can identify myself on every site, I want one that works everywhere, 
just like my web browser works everywhere.

Following your argument, it's perfectly okay that microsoft uses their 
own sort of html, css and javascript, instead of complying with web 
standards.

We need to eventually agree on one and go with it.

My two cents,
