If I read it right this would only make a difference to the viewer, where it would only replace existing code. The viewer already has html/js/css integrated using Gecko on Linux and native facilities (IE backend) on Windows. On OS X I'm not sure whether Gecko or native facilities are used; OS X native being webkit-based just like Google Chrome.

The problem is not the absence of clever code but rather that the protocol has never offered more than a bare minimum of interactivity; just toy interactivity really. As long as OpenSim tries to accomodate all viewers that will continue to be the case.
