DK, I've heard people talk about this as an option. Unfortunately, I don't think I have a client who would allow me to install a server on their client machines.
To me, this approach is counter to what AIR really represents. Of course, I say all this now and next week I'll have a client tell me this is exactly what they want. ;-) I am, however, very interested in the Merapi... can't wait to see how it will finally work with AIR.
