Accessed via a browser? That definition works for me.  But it still begs 
the question, what about Mochasoft browser components?  And what about 
Java applet based 5250 emulators embedded in HTML pages?  And what about 
any other Java applet or ActiveX component embedded in HTML pages?  And 
similarly, what about Flash and Silverlight plug-ins?

I normally don't get caught up in semantics, but if push comes to shove, 
maybe the definition should be "accessed via browser" and "uses HTTP 
protocol" to communicate between client and server.

That way, we can discriminate against 5250 ;-)
