Revolution Media Presentation Viewable on Web?

[Peter T. Evensen]

The problem wiht rebol is that it is yet another plug-in.  The reason 
schools (for example) want web/browser-delivered content is that they don't 
have to go in and touch every workstation.

If Rev could deliver a stack via DHTML/AJAX, that would be the ideal!

I was even pondering writing my own Rev tool to create a Rev stack and an 
DHTML/AJAX version of the same thing.
