As regards return traffic it is very easy to arrange for the viewer to send a string on some selected channel, though I suppose in the interests of clarity and security it might be better to add client to server messages

This secure channel is already in the works, the viewer already supports curl and the server side lsl scripts are about to support http_in.

I'm not sure how secure a channel this would be. There's nothing that tells a script that a connection via HTTP is coming from the client it's expecting. The chat version can be implemented securely enough for attachments to deal with any attack I can think of, since you can use llOwnerSay() for the script-client path, and verify the chat id==llGetOwner() for the response. If that's not good enough, then going to something with less authentication wouldn't be a step forward.
