I have just been to a meeting with Callum Linden, the person who is bravely, and perhaps foolishly, pushing ahead with streaming web-media into SL. The plan doesn't include HTML on a prim next week, but that is the longer term outcome of this path, and explicitly addressed. If you would like to read more about the plans you can check out the wiki page about it here. Callum is also looking for examples of how you would like to use it so he can get the priorities of the later stages correct. For example, after the meeting, forms as a minimum of interactivity have become a higher priority than expected.

Whilst you are welcome to comment in general terms here, please add your specific cases to the wiki page above. Why did I describe Callum as perhaps foolish? There are tentative times for delivery of the first milestone - 1st December. Whilst we all wish him every luck with this, please bear in mind this is only tentative and he might well miss it. Overall I'd like to see these plans contain MORE such tentative time markers, so please don't give him a hard time if it slips a bit. Havok (originally to Havok 2) has slipped for more than 3 years (It was due "soon" when I joined SL) but it has made it.
