Just to create a new line of conversation, I am wondering what the current thinking is on cooperative applications w/ HTML+ browsers. For example, we currently have extended X Mosaic to support external processes that communicate w/ Mosaic, sending images and updating the page displayed. However, for a complete implementation we would need to have less a priori knowledge about the messages required to interact with the external process, e.g. start, stop. We are currently using a new element that has some attributes, but would like to investigate using something analagous to IDL via a SGML DTD and have the objects described both my their MIME type and the IDL-type specification of the commands to expect when controlling the process. Anyone else thinking along these lines? dcm
