* Speed
* Access to data
* Non-Plugin access
* Usability, Usability, Usability: ALL features available of all browsers need to be fulfilled

Lets just say that's true.
Graphical word processors were not as fast as character display based word processors. Nevertheless, WYSIWIG won the battle.
The question with any new application is whether it does something that makes it substantially more useful than what came before. That is the challenge of product design - to do things that make us more productive. Rendering in 1/10th of a second instead of 1/20th of a second is probably not as important as making something that is more useful.
My thesis is that great new tools allow us to do more than just make us go 10% faster. They allow us to be 100% more productive. The challenge is, of course, finding those opportunities. But I never discount the possibility of finding them. Particularly at this early stage in the lifecycle of our new tools.
Personally, I suspect the interesting opportunity is in how we can access the information and how the tools can allow us to use new visualization techniques to find and explore information. In another entirely different space, Apple's new Time Machine backup program is a compelling example of using new graphical tools to visualize data in a new way, greatly enhancing productivity. A pure text display might draw faster on the screen. But who cares?

Hank
But you have a chance if you set a FIX set of things
to be rendered - less flexible.

I was just going to say the same thing. ;-) Flash could just read the
XMTML and display it. The possibilites are endless; I can certainly
imagine quite a few cool things being done with this, even though
Flash isn't supposed to do Wikis ;-)
