It might still be worth pursuing, but note that the current API is
rather broken and results in two loads of the content (and how it
integrated with navigation/fetching was never really defined in
sufficient detail). A better API would be handing of the stream of the
download somehow to the third-party. Also note that the "protocol" API
is still there.
