I have to check wheter the "seamless" X11 support in Snow Leopard is still
not so "seamless" as it was Panther (i.e. character rendering, sometimes
close to unreadable). Gotta check this evening.

Anyway:

"You're right, using  X for remote applications is not  a full answer.
I do think HTML5 is a  better answer than most people acknowledge"

I  am  not  sure  I  would  use  such  an  architecture  for  a  local
application, at least today.

That would mean to use some sort of application server, the
application within the application server and then a browser to run
the app.

Very heavy for the machine. 

I know that HTML 5 can do wonderful things. I am working on a program
thad does HEAVY use of html 5 and javascript, a program meant to run
on either the desktop or a tablet. I had to beef mine to 8G mostly
because of the JavaScript/HTML5 part of the architecture

Then what? two output modules for the same program? Are you kidding or
are you drunk?

Could things improve? Probably. If you design an environment that has
an HTML5 rendering engine as its graphic engine (acting also as a
server for remote rendering requests) and is some sort of javascript
machine.

By  the way,  the application  I  am working  on relies  on a  certain
implementation (webkit) and does not run on, say, firefox.

Wonderful, HTML 5  succeeded in turning the clock about  20 years back
when IE3  understood (non  standard) tags that  Netscape did  not (and
vice versa).

Could you explain a bit more? BTW, AFAIK X11 does move bitmaps around
the net only when it has no other mean to request some kind of drawing.
