Is not the patent very strange? Claim 1 is about an "external application object" mysteriously being executed on the client, while there is no word of getting that object to the client, but later, in detailed description, the author talks only about applications executed on the server side, in "application server".
What's funny, the author mentions specific HTML tags that describe these "application objects" - which should, I think, mean that the technology was already invented what it was formalized into HTML.
And of course, imho, nothing in the patent makes a hint to any scripting language, including Javascript - these are not external objects at all, the scripts are a part of the document, are not they?
