I already upload the minified MSA code to a CDN, so just linking to sth. like 
[1] should be easier.
Do you think it is important that the rendered web page works without internet?

Nope. Imho a standard would require more than one person to agree on it.

Currently the msaviewer only allows a user to import alignment files - it does 
not support the import of sequence features nor alignment annotation files.
I will work on this.

3. My idea was to show a basic configuration dialog to toggle some options of 
the msaviewer (before the generation of the JS files).
-> What is your preferred way to receive those changes? As git patch?

Best,
