Probably something about extended style sheets that include typographic
system tagging. Ideally, as a typographer, I would like something like CSS
that includes a tag for every registered OpenType Layout feature -- and OT
'language system' tagging that sits below the level of document language
tagging etc. --, so that I can create sophisticated online documents with
the same level of typographic control as I have for print documents. I
realise that it may be necessary to dress this up as a higher level,
non-proprietory-technology-specific mark up.

Those books that allow us to forget the most
are accorded the status of a classic.
