Sure, it would be possible, but it's not anything that we plan on
doing anytime in the foreseeable future. Besides the UI changes that
would be required, you would also have to implement sessioning and
the related bizobj management, since a desktop app maintains a single
state, whereas a web app is stateless. It can certainly be done, but
it would take some serious work and testing to make something that
would scale.
