I've skimmed your web page but didn't find much clarification, so let
me apologize in advance if I've misinterpreted the last, but...
Others have mentioned the safety issue, but let me put it a little more
strongly. I will NEVER EVER run a browser that depends on (no, is
willing to) executing binaries downloaded from a server, at least on
any currently extant hardware architecture. Nor will I trust a machine
where somebody has.
Having said that, I'm not clear on the point of binaries. They are
more efficient, but often marginally so. In reality they are just a
different predefined language, but one that is defined by the hardware
so that if I own a machine that the server provider didn't have a copy
of I'm out of luck. With Safe-TCL or Python (and maybe even HotJava,
although that depends on Sun to some extent) I have a solution, at
least in principle.
