You can find smarter clients by Googling "hypermedia client". Also, O'Reilly just published a book on the topic: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920037958.do

But would anybody really want to use a hypermedia client versus a regular client? Of course not. The regular client can be optimized properly at the level it needs to be to make the user's interaction smoother.

You are entering your comment into a general purpose hypermedia client for humans, why wouldn't you want a general purpose client for machines?
