OK, first I want to clarify that I see Chrome and VSTGUI as two different
things.
Chrome could be handled completely by a Chrome plugin. The plugin would
load the XML file and the pixmaps and have all the logic for animations etc.
But it still needs a way to draw to the screen.
I think it is reasonable to NOT support it. I have changed the requirement
to a reccomendation. Does that waylay your concerns?
