Indeed, if no traffic-intensive canvas capability is needed, a Vis
program could operate network-transparently with very low network
resource requirements. Lower than X11 and VNC, at least.

Yes, although the APIs for different languages might not directly wrap
the C API but be implement on top of some lower level stuff due to 
differences in type systems and the inconvenience of doing any kind of
OO in C.

Also note that the core of Vis would be quite small. Most of the code
would be in the UI modules, and I have not given any thought to the Vis
core <-> UI module interface.
