Something I have been wishing for forever, is the ability to display PostScript files in my favorite browser (or any browser).  I mean, the ability to display PDF files now seems to be standard feature of modern browsers, so WHY NOT POSTSCRIPT? And no, I don't mean the behavior when you try to display a .ps file, it opens up that little Microsoft popup asking if you want to "Open with" or "Save with", and if you choose "Open with", then it just runs the file with GSView in its own separate window. I want it to be integrated into the browser so you see it as a separate page under a separate TAB.

I mean this IS the preeminent Page Description Language isn't it?  And yet browsers don't know how to render it?  Shameful!
