Hi Roger,

I'm not making an argument for how things should be, I'm just letting  
you know what is going on in the background.  I'm wouldn't think that  
the Rev folks see this as a solution at all.  The fact that you can  
display a PDF in a player object on OS X is just a side effect of  
using QuickTime with a player object.  It isn't a Revolution provided  
solution.
