Hi Evans,

Are you envisioning your MUD client as an applet which runs in the  
user's browser,
or as a servlet which runs on a web server and sends HTML/Javascript  
to the browser?

One of the tasks on the Kawa ideas page concerns REPL improvements:

including using a web browser as a terminal.

I think if you implemented a generic browser-based remote REPL for Kawa,
and not specifically a communications layer for a MUD client, that could
provide you with your web interface while also adding some fundamental
capability to Kawa that we are interested in seeing.
