Of necessity it would be JavaScript. Java can be embedded in Web pages,
be used for standalone applications, etc. Javascript can only be embedded
in web pages.

Iwoudl start with arguing why the browser interface is actually useful to
you as a MUD interface. Note that I am not arguing against using the
broswer interface to reach to the MUD, but using the browser interface
during your MUD interactions. I don't see much use for Forward and Back
buttons while MUDding, or Bookmarks, etc.
It makes more sense to me to have the browser lauch a Java application ala
plug-in.

Not much. See www.w3.org.
