I could walk into a cyber-cafe (and yes am aware of security concerns) and connect to my work computer using FF, IE, CHROME, or any other HTML5 browser.  That would make a very powerful business tool indeed.
We've seen considerable (though yet unmeasured) performance improvement
by removing the cygwin shim in Windows environments.  I'd imagine adding
the overhead of HTTP would significantly degrade performance (just a
hunch).  However, I thought Trolltech had released a Qt stsyle toolkit
for web applications that was cross platform.  That may be what Heinz
and Alex are investigating as a multi-browser solution.  If I recall
correctly, this is one of their very high priorities - John
