Well, I think that's what the OP was referring to, whether any
browsers supported it "Out of the Box". While RubyScript is cool and
great, it's not very useful for a public site if you have to hope the
users have installed the plugin first.

What we need, rather -- since we're pretty much stuck with JavaScript
as the defacto standard -- is to continue to publicize the libraries
like Prototype that make working with JavaScript much more palatable
and, in some ways, Rubyesque.
