Peter Fraser had been
dabbling<http://www.mail-archive.com/search?q=batik&l=general%40livelykernel.sunlabs.com>
with
Lively running in Batik <http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/>.

When Lively was at Sun one of the first implementations I think was not
browser-based. But that was probably in 2007 and Dan, Robert, or Jens can
probably better answer this. Otherwise, here are some links:

To plug into what? I think it would be nice maybe if an application existed
which implemented solely JavaScript and the W3C canvas api to run Lively.

Yes, I think it would.
