Ah, I hadn't seen that one yet!  [...after looking at the web site for 2
minutes...]  The only thing I would want to do different for my "ideal"
CoCo browser would be to make it into an online browser, i.e., add a
protocol, probably with a daemon running on the helper machine, to
retrieve, process, and pass along pages on demand.  Maybe one could use
a simplified HTTP, and run Plucker as a CGI program under a real web
server.  Maybe that's already being done.  Very interesting.
