Is it really all that often when a Plan 9 user is in the precarious
situation of needing to access his plan9 system from some
other person's/party's pc or laptop?
Is this for when you glide into a coffee shop and forget your
laptop or something? "Hey, Mr.... may I borrow your laptop's
web browser for a sec... I really need to hack some code on
my plan9 system."

Ok, who slipped me the Cr@zy Pills? Just a couple weeks ago,
javascript and web technologies were THE DEVIL INCARNATE...
but suddenly, here's something we can all get behind...
javascript + html5 + browsers and other web standards
are now OK[tm]?
So.... it's cool to have "the 9" running 'native' in a browser
(via javascript!)... but to have "the web" running 'native' in
Plan 9... is stark full of controversy, fear, uncertainty and
doubt?

I realize I'm being unimaginative, but I'm having a very difficult
time conceiving what sort of plan 9 application could possibly
be appealing to non-plan 9 users.

Well now this at least actually makes some modicum of sense
to me.
The web is the key.
