I'm considering
implementing this using javascript and use an embedded IE control for
the user interface.

I'll take a simplistic shot at it. What sort of interfaces does the
IE Control expose? In, particular, will you be able to retrieve
values of DOM elements from it? The reason I ask is because
javascript in a browser has no file system access, in fact no system
resource access whatsoever for security reasons (intranet or internet
doesn't matter). If the COM interface access of the IE Control let's
you overcome this problem, then, yeah it's a great idea. There is
nothing simpler and more flexible than coding up AJAX for your web
services in javascript. And, of course your UI can be as beautiful or
utilitarian as you want.
