[Semi-OT] Interesting article

This craving to make everything work inside a browser... endless   
building of complex contraptions to split a piece of wood, just wire  
two machines together and use an axe.  I wonder how much actual  
"real" content these people ever deploy over a given 365 day period...

Meanwhile looking at the Laszlo-in-ten-minutes we see something Rev  
could very well use in their model for development.

font-externals:

"Using Laszlo, you can embed fonts in your application using the  
<font> tag. You use the name attribute to provide the font with a  
logical name used within your application, and the src attribute to  
point to a font file. Just like images, font files have to be  
available on the server. This approach guarantees that your  
application will look exactly the same, pixel by pixel, on all  
platforms."

Could it be that hard adopt this approach in Rev? Is something like  
this already on the feature list?
