If you have any references to documents or applications that could facilitate understanding or development in Plan 9, that would be greatly appreciated. My idea/understanding of Web 2.0 on Plan 9 has been that we would break apart the various mediums that diverge from the plaintext and image, such as audio and video (which is perhaps everything), and make simple standalone tools for accessing this data. Then, primarily one attains just text from a direct HTTP conversation with a webserver, and the tools providing us with this conversation give us references to the other forms of data present on the web site, for each of which we have a corresponding tool for access. I'm sure this is a rather obvious style as envisioned by just about anyone who's been using Plan 9, so a flash streaming utility seems to be the next step.
