I agree totally. I also think that it is more user-friendly and intuitive.

If the mud is text-orientated, I don't think that web-only (even with
minimal in-game support) help would be of benefit. In my experience, users
will stick with one UI. If a web UI is so hot (it is, IMO), then why have
anything off of the web?
Stick the whole mud on the web. Use Javascript. Use Java. That's what I'm
doing. Muds underutilise the web to a horrendous degree. With a web UI, you
will attract so many more users, too. (The AOL generation believes that the
web IS the Internet.)
Mud designs on the web would be of great interest too. It would be
fantastic if we moved towards releasing designs, rather than code.
