RR as a browser plugin?

[Christopher Mitchell]

So I guess then the distinction "brower plugin" implies it runs in a 
heavily partitioned area that keeps it safe from being able to be 
exploited to damage the system... that could still be useful but it is 
probably easier or at least more useful to build the browser into Rev 
than to build rev into the browser.

but for a bit of hope, I witnessed lots of women walking the streets 
unescorted at night in Buenos Aires last summer.  I will keep my 
further comments mum!

Yours,
Chris
