I would suppose the success depends upon how the browser interacts with the plugin.  If the plugin intercepted and processed CSS, then converted it to HTML and JavaScript for the browser to parse, that might work.

You know, it hit me that one could put up a proxy box equipped with the tools necessary to de-modernize HTML and CSS streams to something palatable to iBrowse.  But services like this already exist in the form of alternative mobile browsers, like OperaMini and Bolt.

My head is too fuzzy right now to follow along the logic train here.  But it seems to me that I am fussing about with two potential solutions: port an existing mobile or small-footprint browser which uses a proxy system to simplify the stream, or build a proxy which works with Amiga browsers to do the same.

The idea seems neat.  If I had a class towards which I could apply the second solution, I would go for it.  Alas, otherwise I have not the time to devote to the idea.
