And that doesn't even touch on the issue of graceful downgrading.
Silverlight/Moonlight or Flash would make that possible. But those are
much more virtual machines like the JRE or .NET (especially
Silverlight), than than a HTML rendering engine.
Much of the problem is that a Web Browser is not suited to being an
application platform, even though the major browsers have grown into
such. Beyond a certain level of application complexity a choice has to
be made between a hardline REST approach with minimal markup and
styling, or a lightweight client delivered as Flash, Silverlight of
Java Applet content inside a browser page. Both approaches have their
problems and for many kinds of applications such as casual games I can
see an argument for developing dedicated clients and ignoring the
browser altogether.
