My recommendation would be to advocate the implementation of the
"scribble" widget as defined by the HTML+ FORMs spec. The "scribble"
widget allows completely arbitrary mouse input to be accumulated, and
then sent to the server when the FORM is submitted. As part of a
FORM, this input can be easily coordinated with other information.
I'm eagerly looking forward to this capability, since it will enable
more sophisticated interactive geometry applications. For example,
our new Kali app (http://www.geom.umn.edu/apps/kali/about.html) could
really benefit from such an input mechanism.
