This is great stuff - good to see this type of functionality coming out into
the public.  With PHP on the server and this type of flexibility in the
client, the day of rich internet apps is coming quick.

Looking forward to the next release of FireFox, and to getting a web cast
out there as Chris mentioned.

Thanks Dan
