I sent mail to the author asking about it and he perked right up and  
asked for more details.

That's pretty much what I told him myself. For that you wouldn't need  
to implement most of the really hairy stuff like javascript and  
layers and frames... you wouldn't even need forms just to bake a  
client-side texture from a string provided by a script.

BTW, I hope y'all are keeping the privacy implications of HTTP- 
sourced textures in mind. :)
