I get most of what you are saying. I was thinking of a simpler case...
rather than using Scid as a kind of server (which would be pretty
cool, but way beyond what I was thinking), provide a 1) format more
suitable for embedding (e.g. smaller, with some ajax for displaying
PGN, comments, and variations, etc) and 2) an export that allowed the
end user to specify where the Javascript libraries were so one could
specify, say, a prefix to indicate where they had them on their web
site.

This wouldn't work (at least easily) for those not hosting their own
blogs or sites... but for others?

Really, Flash is probably the most promising for this kind of use but
the very few Flash tools I've found aren't very good. Not that I'm
complaining, being unable to program such things for myself, they just
aren't very flexible.

I do appreciate the thoughts on Scid, though I realize my tangential
wish was really just a kind of musing on something I don't expect
anytime soon!
