Is it really all that often when a Plan 9 user is in the precarious situation of needing to access his plan9 system from some other person's/party's pc or laptop? Is this for when you glide into a coffee shop and forget your laptop or something? "Hey, Mr.... may I borrow your laptop's web browser for a sec... I really need to hack some code on my plan9 system."

Just a couple weeks ago, javascript and web technologies were THE DEVIL INCARNATE... but suddenly, here's something we can all get behind... javascript + html5 + browsers and other web standards are now OK[tm]? So.... it's cool to have "the 9" running 'native' in a browser (via javascript!)... but to have "the web" running 'native' in Plan 9... is stark full of controversy, fear, uncertainty and doubt?

The web is the key.
