This thread has re-raised in my mind the wish for a public port in
every browser process through which the browser accepts instructions
in a public "command language". That way, the user could wire in
private functionality on-the-fly much the way one now does with Emacs.
In an ideal world one would have separate http client and xml
formatting modules: different (independently written) OS processes
that communicate with each other and receive user instructions
this way.
