the Plucker site looks interesting, though in describing the differences
from Avantgo their FAQ says:
"AvantGo parses compressed (read: "encrypted") HTML on the Palm device
itself; Plucker parses uncompressed HTML on the server, and sends an
interpreted version to the Palm."
so, I'm not sure Newt's Cape could do much with either of these:
- if Avantgo's HTML docs aren't accessible --- "encrypted"/proprietary
- if Plucker's docs aren't HTML -- postprocessed into another format
or am I missing something obvious about how this could work?
