I like the idea of Inferno serving files to plan9, all is well and good
with that.

Especially with the new grid computing initiative at Vita Nuova

http://www.vitanuova.com/grid/demo.html

Some interesting services might well come out of that that plan9 can
take part in.

machine and import its filesystem.

Is there already a way for plan9 to serve files to Inferno (and/or
others) as this strikes me as the preferred option.
I can see that with some cruft you could persuade the remote plan9 box
to connect to you.

It may make those Ipaq's slightly more useful if they ran Inferno but
accessed the plan9 FS, chording isn't fun with a stylus !

as we were reminded earlier :

My ideal for the future is to develop a file system remote interface (a
la Plan 9) and then have it implemented across the Internet as the
standard rather than HTML. That would be ultimate cool. -- Ken Thompson
