How Else to Interact with Browser (was Re: Revolution Web Browser Plugin)

[Derek Bump]

Lynn,

Well it seems to me that there is 1 other option that may be viable.  A 
protocol loader much like html or ftp, or even a MIME type that is setup 
in the system.

   rev://www.somesite.com/stack.rev

Much like iTunes, and very easy to implement, would consist of the very 
same Dreamcard model that RunRev already employs, but a little modified. 
  Once a Player program is installed, the user clicks a link within the 
browser and boom, the stack loads within a "non-obtrusive" player 
window.  When it's done, the user closes it.

Then, the next evolutionary model in my mind, would be the browser 
plugin.  Embed the stack within the web page itself.  All I know is that 
I'm sure there were complaints from people about having an Acrobat 
plugin... but look how far that's gone these days.
