the purpose of the custom script -> viewer channel would be to avoid
that "$init$..." message to display at all to non-custom viewers. An
alternative could be to change the standard viewer to hide
llOwnerSay that starts with @ or $. In any way, looking for
something cleaner that is fully transparent to users with standard
viewers and already existing viewers.
Yah, I got that, I was just pointing out that you wouldn't be
automatically getting spammed by using chat from an attachment.
I do think that it's a good idea to have better view-server side
support, not just for streaming data like this but also for static
data... so a script could set a tagged attribute on a prim that a
modified viewer would see and interpret... and for non-volatile
storage in prims and for low impact object-object shared state.
