[Qt-qml] Standards?

[Jason H]

Well, throwing it out there as a web standard I think would raise some eyebrows, get the attention, and make it hugely successful. People have been crying for a open source flash replacement. Tools like gnash don't fix the problem, as they don't compile the binary. 

I think all that would be needed is a reference implementation that is a browser plugin on OSX, Windows and Linux. 

We've got a chicken and egg problem. But getting one will produce the other eventually. I think having it as a web standard would help get both the quickest.
