Re: more on-rev issues
Engine Changes Important: As of 5.5-dp-3, the default stack file format has been updated to 5.5. The previous default version (2.7) has been set as a legacy option in the “Save As” dialog. As such, the field updates added in 5.5 are now no longer considered experimental. Warning: File Format changes to LiveCode 5.5 mean stacks created in LC 5.5 DP2 and above could have data loss if opened in older versions (field style related data) 5.0.2 is saving as legacy 2.7, so if you're in 5.5 dp3 + you have to manually save as in legacy format for server (which is still 4.6.3 I believe) to be able to open them.

Ah yep, just found the info. .irev maps to the rev server engine, so using the ?lc tag with a .irev will probably not work correctly.

Use ?rev put Hello world. ? without space between ?rev to get a response from the revServer 4.6.4 and ?lc put Hello world. ? to get a response from the LC-Server 5.0.2.

Re: more on-rev issues
I've been able to read/write to a field in a stack from an .irev document using livecode server. And while in the IDE on land, I've used UI elements in the stack for testing routines that aren't used 'in the wild'. lc server doesn't seem to choke on those UI elements, usually ignores. I think I've created and deleted cards too. And of course the custom properties are gold in the server environment for lookup and site (not user) settings Sometime whole library stacks created for the desktop can work verbatim in the server environment such as Mark Smith's (the late one) mp3 tag reading and writing library.

Yes, RevServer should allow creation and manipulation of objects (at least the older Rev CGI allowed this), and using the save command you should even be able to save those changes to disk. But no, unfortunately you won't be able to do anything that involves rendering objects graphically. Server environments are faceless, they have no GUI components, and so there's no way for LiveCode to render anything into an imaging buffer such as would be need to generate PDF with its printToPDF external.
