Has any progress been made in this area?
It seems that given the existence of Emacs support for Xembed and the
existence of Firefox support for XEmbed'd plugins (e.g. [1]) most of the
hard work for integrating Emacs into a web-browser has already been
accomplished.
Is there some reason that putting these pieces together is more
difficult than it appear on the surface?
Are there any existing demos of an XEmbedding Emacs into another
application?
Thanks -- Eric
