How real is the embedded web-page technique?

[Dan Shafer]

I differ slightly with you here, Jeanne. I think it is fine to say 
something like "Rev renders a sub-set of HTML on its own," but even 
the way it doesn't handle links (which is sooooo easy in Rev that 
it's obvious it could be "fixed" if there were a priority here) 
demonstrates that support is really, really weak.

Candidly, I'd like to see Rev tie up with someone like OmniWeb or 
iCab or Opera or someone, license a decent HTML rendering engine, 
slam it in the product (or offer it as a plug-in add-on) and let me 
get down to building some REAL Web apps without my having to muck 
with the HTML at all.

But that's just me.
