JavaScript is quite powerful, though generally under appreciated.  A model 
executing in the browser calling Swarm methods with XPCOM seems rather 
tightly coupled and would work best if the browser and Swarm were running on 
the same machine, or perhaps machines connected by a fast, local network. 
Is this the anticipated use case?
