Jalview would provide an export option that could either:
* write a single html page with bundled JSON/BSON data
* write a series of files: html page with references to local JSON/BSON 
files

The questions in my mind are:

1. should a bundled version of the BioJS msaviewer + dependencies be 
shipped with Jalview ?
-> alternative is to include external references to minified code

2. are the JSON/BSON structures employed by msaviewer sufficiently 
standard that we can commit time to create new parsers/emitters in 
Jalview ?
-> That would mean that we could also import data + visualisation 
settings from an existing msaviewer-enabled page.
-> alternately, we just write vanilla alignment, sequence feature and 
alignment annotation files and improve msaviewer so its compatible with 
Jalview's standard formats.
