one thing to point out to people about this idea is that nothing says that 
this page needs to be served via a webserver. If all the calculations are 
done in javascript this could be a local file that you open with a 
browser.

do any of the text-mode browsers implement javascript? if so then you have 
an answer even for the deeply buried isolated headless servers.
