And when this same problem was solved by NeXT some 20 years ago they 
opted for DPS (Display PostScript) which was also used by Sun in the 
later cancelled NeWS project. James Gosling was one of the persons 
behind NeWS. You could basically send a small PostScript program 
implementing, for instance, a button from the server to the client. The 
small button program would then tell the server if the user had clicked 
on the button or not instead of having all that heavy communication 
between the client and server. Sounds familiar? ;)
