This brings up a thought. DQSD is only 'functional' on Windows right
now anyway, has any thought been put into creating a url protocol
handler? This would essentially provide access to searches from
websites using a syntax like
"dqsd://httpinst(example.com/dqsdsearches.xml)"

I don't expect everyone to jump at once to write this, but I think it
would be a really functional addition. It would, however, further
remove it from the potential to function for those that do not have
DQSD explicitly installed (like a simple textbox on a webform). OTOH,
it would be possible then for people to provide actual DQSD function
links on their pages.
