I suppose people interested in using a high integrity web browser as a front 
end for a critical application would be in control of both the client and 
the server. As such they could design the server side to cater to the 
limitations of the specialized client.

Browsing arbitrary Internet sites even with a browser that just enforces 
standards would be a disaster. Imposing other limitations would definitely 
be impractical. I agree with you there.
