yes.

the Javascript would grab a copy of TEI (cut down) from a chosen
server, and load it into memory. Then it would use that to help
you build your ODD. when you were done, it would send the ODD document
to a web service whose job is to return a schema or documentation
back to the browsers. So Roma would be a Javascript ODD
editor, not needing server support beyond a simple Apache,
but closely coupled to a pair of generic web services. The
generator web service would be identical code to the Vesta desktop
app which Laurent demonstrated on Friday.
