Regardless of where webservices are used, they will be used to

this system deserve to get a decent user interface, hence the

Environment platform that allows a program which implements this
user interface to be executed locally, on ther user's PC.
Speaking of user interface, I believe you are saying that there must be both a
client ("implements UI") and a server, and that the RPC needed for webservices
will be handled by the programs individually.
Sorry, I originally thought the UI transference would be handled by SEE/plugin,
much as exported X apps are handled by the X server.
So this means that:
* A user (who also has SEE installed locally on the PC) who
happens to be the "owner of the data" for a program that runs
on a remote webservice server, tells the SEE on his local
machine to connect to a SEE on a remote webservice server, and
download the data and the application program, so that it can
then be executed locally.
completely contains the point:
* A user (who has SEE installed locally on the PC) should
have the option of accessing a webservice application (which
runs on a remote webservice server) in such a way that if that
webservice application can transfer to the user's PC code
which implements a decent user interface.
because the SEE shouldn't be able to tell the difference, because it doesn't
control the RPC of webservices.
Right? Because if so, I can just wipe out the whole SEE-development chapter on
passing events (a little more Texinfo I'm writing, more details to come later).
