Nicolò: OTOH, it would increase code in Unity Dash for very little gain,
and probably negative gain.  Firstly it's a 90%/10% thing; the legal
notice is not frequently used, but still needs to be reliable and easy
to interact with when required.  The current situation of using a Web
browser would seem to meet that require elegantly.

Second, the concept of the Dash is a search enabler, rather than a
content interface; so you pop the Dash overlay, /find/ what you want,
and launch to that task or content.  /Doing work/ inside Unity Dash
would defeat that premise, because you may not recursively pop up the
Unity Dash over itself.

The current setup is, I believe, more functional and consistent.  For
example, by opening the legal task in a web browser, the user can then
be reading that legal text, discover a term they are not sure about, and
then bring up the Unity Dash to locate the legal phase via the Legal
Eagle(tm) Dictionary Lens from Legal&Legal&Sons(tm).

If you were performing the task within Unity Dash itself, recursion
would not be possible, and the user would be at a disadvantage.
