Alex, I trust that you had a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...
Supporting phones is a very good idea: " http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/mobile-phone-world-population-2014/"; The article mentions: "Of the 6 billion cell phones in use, only around 1.1 billion of them are mobile-broadband devices." I wonder what market size Mozilla is expecting for Firefox OS. Prior to you mentioning: "http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/";; I had not thought of the browser supporting some of the same features as Firefox OS. I have mixed feelings about: "this would break the fundamental rule that the GUI should also work in an environment without JavaScript" It seems contrary to what most companies are pursuing, e.g.: " http://www.sencha.com/blog/the-making-of-fastbook-an-html5-love-story"; Anyway, have you looked at: "https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki"; and "http://asmjs.org/faq.html";? I suppose that PicoLisp could run in the browser; and, act as an offline cache for the server, etc.... Some of the same code could also be used in nodeJS; for OS interop, etc... Under Windows I have used nodeJS so that localhost can query PicoLisp, in a psuedo RESTful manner (i.e., no app session...)
