But one could write a plugin which could provide some glue
between MCL and Netscape. One advantage of a plugin is
the possibility of handling a part of the browsers window.
Another one *could* be some kind tighter communication
between a browser and its plugin.
Right now CL-HTTP uses HTML (and VRML - see below) to generate
output. One way to extent this could be a Java library
that maps CLIM graphics to the web. It would be interesting
to bring CLIM concepts directly to the web. But I'm
not sure if this would make a plugin necessary.

I'd be interested. We (John C. Mallery and I) just have written
a VRML generation macro library for use with CL-HTTP
(available with the latest devo version). My example
page with embedded VRML files keeps crashing my Netscape3.0b5
(using 20 MB RAM). I hope to write some more VRML
examples using CL-HTTP in the coming two weeks.
Mac-native means using QD3D?
