+LB started writing a web based world viewer, and is interested in adding
+it to SledjHamr.  She would only have to write the 3D viewer part (which
+she is doing), and the wire protocol Nails.  Nails being designed for

+UI layer would also need to be written, but that's part of the

 Include something small like Dillo or NetSurf as the built in web
 browser.  It should be able to spread itself across in world objects,
 meshes and prims, as well as run in internal or external windows.
 
 As the next step up, an optional module could replace Dillo / NetSurf

 Finally, the user can always decide to show any given URL, or already
 displayed web page, on an external web browser of their choice, with
 their default browser being the top choice.  Which naturally should be
 able to use the in world matrix-RAD type stuff via the translation layer
