It may, but I feel it would still require a conversion. And after thinking about this issue overnight I am seeing more on the side of Richard and others regarding the cost and timeline for implementing such a feature.
So on the topic of a better helper application, let's say that Rev was to take the "Adobe Reader" approach? It's very simple in that all you needed to view the content is for the program to be installed on the client's computer. I'm sure that STS's StackRunner would be an excellent candidate as a helper application, but backing from RunRev themselves would probably be the best approach. Additionally, there would need to be some universal structure for Windows, Mac and Linux for the implimenting of such a helper app in both the handling of URLs and the display of the Reader itself. And then one could go farther with little web badges, much like Adobe and Apple do for their helper apps like Reader and QuickTime. This creates more advertising and exposure for RunRev. Now along the lines of the helper app, would the possibility of layering the stack's window over the web page be a solution for a browser plugin? Some browsers today can display Microsoft Office and PDF documents directly within the browser (as a page itself). Could a helper app drop a layer for a stack window over a region on a page (granted we'd have to then deal with Tabs and such)... but I'm getting into the old idea again.
