The WWW doesn't have resource restrictions in the same manner as Rockbox. Assume the internet became slower for everyone, the instant any website was put up. Were this the case there would immediately be a concern on the value of having more information available versus the ability for people to access this information in a reasonable time frame. Assuming there were a controlling authority, any website put up would be looked at in terms of "how many people will this help" versus "how much current, and potentially future, cost will this have to users who will, and especially who won't, use this feature."
