You still have not made a case for embedding such in a wireless/wired 
printer,projector,toy,TV,whatever home/corporate device for remote 
control. Your example also is rather ironic in that I proposed http as 
an interface for remote control and that is just what your SERVLETS and 
WEB servers are which you were trying hard to trounce. Email for remote 
control might be a nice plus in edge cases.
