I'm not sure I agree that users using the JHS front end should be assumed to be 
connected to the internet. JHS may well be just served from the local machine 
that is not connected to the internet in the same way that users may use the 
jwd and jconsole sessions currently. I.e. The JHS/browser is just acting as 
session for a local instance of J.

My impression is that it wouldn't be too difficult to build on the current 
media/platimg addon to provide the cross-platform (non wd) support for creating 
png images for the jhs client. This would enable offline use of jhs with 
plotting and viewmat etc as well as improving performance/functionality for 
servers providing content to multiple clients via the web.
