Why use a web browser? Or even a web server? Opening up rcp so users could download it and view it locally would be much simpler.

Of course, some people might want additional functionality, and to facilitate that functionality, we have many technological tools at our disposal which make the process of implementing that functionality simpler than not using them.

What are the requirements? Annotations? Foldable sections? In-line bookmarks? Citation generators for quotes? Content editing? Comments? Image carousels?
