you mean something like right clicking on http://blah would plumb it
to hget | htmlfmt and then back to acme?  that seems like a reasonable
p9-ish way of doing it..  I imagine it'd be easy to get used to, if
one's familiar with acme already...

without pictures though it could hardly replace the vnc session with,
say, opera in an X window (an aside observation -- i was displaying
some graphics programs in a vnc window (1024x768, 8bpp) and am very
impressed by the speed it had over a 100mbit network...  no jitter at
all)...
