Simple: chain formation and message encryption must be done on the client,
or else you are putting all your trust in the first hop (the web gateway).

Currently there is a nice web interface in the form of a cgi script that
was written by the Chicago admin -- I think he is still running the web
gateway. Easy to use and convenient, but you have to trust that webserver
completely.
