Supercard's plugin - "Roadster" was extremely buggy and Mac-only.
Hypercard was demonstrated as becoming integrated with Quicktime - not
quite the same as a browser plugin and no guarantee of anything in
particular.
Both efforts ultimately were total failures for one reason or another,
and neither product had a fraction of the toolset of Rev. They weren't
even cross-platform. Note that Supercard is still alive, but the
browser plugin is not- and it's still Mac only.
A useful browser plugin for a Rev-like tool doesn't even make much
technical sense. Sure, there are instances where an HTML export can
work (say you are building a slideshow app) or a Flash export of your
animation, or a Quicktime export of something else. There are other
tools for delivery in a browser. You are much better off learning some
of them, than trying to make Revolution live inside a browser window.
Not too mention that if your product really MUST live inside a browser
window, a large portion of many markets will just walk away when you
ask them to install a new plugin.
I don't mind if people really want to keep discussing this and find it
interesting, but please consider the evidence that it's extremely
unlikely to happen anytime soon - and quite possibly ever.
Maybe we can shift the focus here. What kind of *specific* export tools
would be good projects for Rev - and better suited than the already
existing tools for those formats?

Not impossible. As I mentioned earlier, Apple demonstrated a browser
plug-in
for HyperCard. SuperCard had a similar plug-in. Such a facility would
dramatically increase the value of writing in Rev. "Quite magical,"
indeed.

it is rather tall order for stacks to run on

If they can do it, yes things would become quite magical in that
world.
I think the hard truth is that it is probably too difficult a task to
accomplish in the near future.
