saving in a standalone?

This is a feature request/question:

The metacard and revolution documentation clearly state
that (apparently because of system requirements?) it is
impossible to save changes made within a standalone.

I presume there is no workaround to this other than
distributing a copy of the MC engine with the stack as
a runtime module.

I think that it would be better, if possible, to have
standalones be able to save to themselves. This is
because end-users will want things "simple" and not to
have to worry about keeping their stack and runtime
module in the same folder. 

Is there any workaround planned for this limitation? 
Is it better to market metacard stacks as standlones (I
think so) or is it better to market metacard as a stack
browser (I'm not sure)? I think the hypercard player
was actually a mistake. I also think apple's failure to
integrate hypercard into the WWW was also a major
mistake. I'm forced to deal with anemic javascript and
half baked data when it is clear that metacard is
superior at data management than javascript.
