CSS is all about separating content from data, so could there be a VW that let's the player alter the entire world to suit their view of it? Virtual World themes, as it were. Web 2.0 is all about community interaction, so on the one hand we're there already, but on the other, community interaction could always be easier, especially with a better interface system, or more granular emotions and expressive avatars. At the moment most virtual worlds are a closed ecosystem, so the big spike for them could be standardisation. That's a boring suggestion but just look at how web developers pushed for better standards, got them, and built a bunch of more engaging websites as a result. Taking the literal approach…

One comment about "investment bubble" however -- I think there is a lot of money interested in the space but I don't think there has been an enormous amount of money actually deployed in the space.
