It happens that I get confused.

But in this case I don't think it is that bad.

"you click on a link, answer yes to run and the Java app starts up"

and:

"But from what I can see (and please correct me again if I'm
wrong) is all your example uses the browser for is downloading
the JNLP file? After that your running a desktop app in isolation
with nary an awareness that the browser exists."

are consistent.

The browser is used to launch the application but nothing more.

It is based on:
- very few questions here and in other Java fora
- very few job ads asking for it
- very few public known examples of usage

Reference to what?

That it will also become deprecated? As I said I have not read
anything about it. It is pure speculation based on an assumption
about consistent behavior from Oracle.

Applets via JLNP? I think I posted this link yesterday:
 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/deploy/applet_dev_guide.html#JSDPG1032
it describes it briefly.
