I don't understand: isn't "suggest" 2/3 of Toss already? I think it
needs as much of Toss as the experiment (so if the experiment succeeds
it can be "truncated" to this purpose). The js experiment _is_ based
on WebClient: I adapt WebClient to work both ways, using either the
CONN object or a LOCAL handler. But I don't have hopes that it will be
any good. Right now as a viable solution I see what I described above:
the standalone native application with some widget library that can
mimic WebClient's interface (so using SVG etc.), and perhaps WebClient
factorized so that some code for it is compiled by js_of_ocaml and
shared with the native app.
