RR as a browser plugin?

[Christopher Mitchell]

perhaps he forgot to specify that they would be singing the songs 
outside your window...

This is an interesting idea, though, and something I think would be 
helpful.  As was mentioned, however, it is unfortunately a non-trivial 
request for some people to have to install any 3rd party helper (it is 
only non-trivial when the 3rd party engines are installed without them 
knowing about it) because then they might have some thoughts about 
whether it is ""secure.""  in this case, then, following the threads 
about product placement, it might be a good thing that there is a 
Mac-centric flavor to the perception.  Not many people make too many 
jokes about Apple or Apple products as being "laughably insecure," 
unlike some competitors.

Automating a single install of the runtime (and keeping it current) 
would be really interesting, and if implemented as described, could be 
used for other purposes.  If there was one unified runtime 
download/install/setup-as-helper, then standalone apps could be 
generated in a mode more reminiscent of a stack - just a pointer 
executable that verifies the engine is already there, and if not 
downloads and/or updates it.  Why have a separate engine in each 
standalone app if it could be had and used in one location, 
instantiated for each instance of Revolution app that is run at any 
given time.

just thinking outloud.

Yours,
Chris
