Yes - like I said, it sounds like territory that could be dangerous, but I
could see how the occasional mucking with a screen could work well for,
let's say, a CMS-oriented installation (e.g. a custom post type or similar)

I think I get your idea now - I was thinking more along the example of Bank
of America, where it loads pages remotely, rather than building the
interface using HTML/CSS/JS. The advantage of loading remote pages is that
it wouldn't require the users updating their specific applications to get
updates, but it does also eat up more data, I suppose.
