    Yes, but I'll bet big money that the COSTS substantially outweigh
    the BENEFITS. Remember, you're talking some serious client-side
    installations to make this work as you describe.

    I'm not saying that your analysis isn't correct, or that your
    conclusions aren't interesting. (They are.) I just think that the
    serious client-side software situation would drive the costs so
    as to exceed the benefits.

    I'd like to hear what others thing along these lines.
