I think the html with plug-ins model is so ubiquitous now for presenting dynamic content that, although it may have flaws, it is much better to use the standard than to invent a new one (we are not Micro$oft, after all). Plug-ins will continue to evolve. E users will have much more flexibility if they have the option to install, for example, the latest flash player in their background manager. Also, the mechanisms already exist for specifying content from local or remote locations - great for people with always-online machines.

That way backgrounds could be written in plain html, html with _javascript_ or even Flash. You can't get more flexible than that._javascript_ has enough security issues in a browser. You want it on your *DESKTOP*???
