I suppose that a hybrid solution would involve truly distributing

In a sense this is what is done with GRASSLinks - the "smart server"
runs Grass programs, "compresses the information" into a gif image,
and "delivers it to a smart client" who is running Netscape.
I realise that you actually mean something a bit more sophisticated,
but for now ...
A few things have come up regarding the html "forms" interface -
I wonder if anyone can suggest if in the future it will support
* a "slider" or "dial" widget to select a value from a continuous spectrum
* multiple clicks on an ismap image
* nested elements in a single form
* drag and drop ... (probably not)
Who is control of the html spec??
