I certainly didn't mean to suggest that a proprietary server platform should be replaced by a proprietary client platform. I feel, rather, that the browser needs to be extended with additional capabilities and that Mozilla is perfectly positioned to drive this effort. These capabilities should be based on standards and available to all browsers, just like HTML and JavaScript are.
