If you're going to say that someone's idea is "really bad", you should
give a "really good" reason why this is so...
I can see that some difficulties might arise from creating programs to
run client-side, but I can also see that such a thing would be
somewhat useful to many users.
I am also of the opinion that everyone who would work on such a
project would be doing so on a volunteer basis with an interest
towards building the wikipedia community stronger. I don't see the
harm in that. I would expect you of all people to recognize that it
is somewhat frustrating when someone tells you that your idea sucks.
A bit of Javascript to do searching in some index is
about as much
as can be reasonably done. Distributing renderer is really really bad idea.
Likewise, I was expecting to see a "really really good" reason here...
