it seems like you'd want to avoid plugins.  The idea is that you
send a standard markup language over the wire, and  that anyone
with an appopriate UA can view it. Thus, it would seem that if
a language had specific needs, one could jus specify the
conversion  operator, and any UAs for that language would
implement that operator.   Received on Sunday, 31 July 2005
