I think that Carl has his own vision that it's better to run Rebol
outside from browsers... and the true is, that it's better if you
don't need a lot of random visitors. The biggest problem with the
Rebol plugin is a security. I can imagine a lot of unfriendly pages
with embedded Rebol waiting to make something bad!

PS: I would like to have Rebol plugin as well, but you know it - there
are priorities (and I would like to have rich text in Rebol sooner then
Rebol in the browser).
PPS: I still remember some computers, I was working on, where I had
no rights to install anything (no Flash and other plugins!) For such a
cases is Rebol the best, because you don't neet to install it,
just unpack and run.
PPPS:
hmm, Java Web Start, since I installed Netscape7 which contains Java
with JavaWebStart, I have problems to run some of older Java apps I was
using:-( And as I'm using WindowBlinds to skin my windows, JWS seems to
have big problems with them. Thanks to Carl that Rebol is able to handle
correct window sizes not like JWS does.
