Good question. We really don't know yet. To get started quickly on  
Engage, we'll leverage the existing Infusion tools extensively,  
including the (client-side) Renderer. If we encounter major  
performance or battery constraints when most of our presentation code  
is running in the browser, we'll consider the possibility of writing a  
Ruby or PHP version of the Renderer. It's a big investment, so we're  
not going to rush into unless we know we need it.
