so basically the sumamry:
what DATA format/file is it we want to display within a browser.
in all honesty i only looked it as as "oh cool" never thought it'd have a
snowballs chance unless it ran in windows, macosx AND linux... i was .looking at
it as a logical extension of using some libs to browse docs and info by having a
mini "edje" browser that can download edje's via http and then display them
directly - no web browser needed. the reason being we can do more in the visual
department with much less overhead than a whole browser. good for systems where
a browser isnt installed, or can't fit. (they do exist). the browser plugin
would just allow that content to display within mozilla etc. without having to
run a separate tool in a separate window - thats about it really.
