I think the best answer here would be "depends". :)
"All" is a pretty big word, and as I mentioned earlier JavaScript/DHTML
is only really suited for a subset of all the things Rev can do.
But on the upside, anything that truly benefits from being in a browser
probably represents a pretty narrow subset of Rev's capabilities anyway.
So in brief, if ToolBook could do this almost a decade ago I see no
reason why Rev couldn't also:
1. Identify a subset of things that would be useful in a browser.
2. Make a Rev library with handlers to support those tasks.
3. Make a JavaScript library with corresponding handlers to get
those behaviors in a browser.
4. Author in Rev, have a library generate the objects as DHTML
snippets in a web page, reference the JavaScript lib,
and upload.
5. Give the URL to your friends and enjoy. :)
Oh, and I forgot Step 0 (before 1):
0. Get some of the open source advocates here to do #1, 2, and 3.
