IFF i understand sabin (and zero, who was talking about this in recent
weeks off and on), they want to be able to login on the web page and
then --- by some "magic" --- have that login carry over to the viewer...

have to login at the web site to use the application?" --- let alone all
those security issues such as XSS et al.
