I think the reason that Mono hasn't gone in this direction is (along with, of course, the CAS prerequisite) is because the public use of client-side .NET web applications is actually pretty small (not including company-internal stuff)... so it's less of a need and more of a want.
If these oodles of contributors who are waiting for a plugin really exist, I think they should help out with CAS, because that's what's holding back a secure implementation.

We use ClickOnce internally and wouldn't roll without it; it rocks to say the least.

And I can quickly think, even > without caffeine, about a few more ;-)I'm sorry if you've already been over this before: but does anyone actually use ClickOnce? The only time I've even seen it mentioned (outside of this mailing list) was on Microsoft's site. I was forced to use it to download some application, and I remember having so much trouble trying to get ClickOnce to work (even with IE on Windows) that I eventually gave up. I understand how in-browser apps (like Flash & ActiveX) are appealing, but what is the use case for ClickOnce over the standard Click Twice it takes to run a normal application? (First click download, second click to run.)
