yes, I know this plugin idea has been already discussed at length, and frankly 
I'm not
100% sure I know what I'm talking about, but I've always had the feeling that 
an open
source browser project like Firefox could have been a good opportunity to 
introduce
Transcript as an alternative to js. Of course, it should have been available in 
the
downloadable package from the beginning. Only FF users would have benefit this
plugin, but at least it would have attracted attention to Transcript for 
millions of FF
users (or at least a large portion of them).

Furthermore, if similar plugins were available for other browsers (IE and 
Safari for
instance), ppl who enjoyed using Transcript with FF would be perhaps more keen 
to
download those as well.

Last but not least, the facts that  1)Rev engines already exist for a large 
number of
platforms, and 2) the DOM uses (more or less) the same kind of graphic objects 
than
desktop apps (images, text) should not mean lots of code re-writing to generate 
a
browser plugin... At least, it could be worth the effort regarding the large 
exposure
it would reach...

But again, I'm not 100% sure I know what I'm talking about...
