Some questions, before I commit,
1. Julian, do you already have a different name for 'site' or shall I
commit site for the moment?
2. Do we have consensus over the engine name? html5? javascript? xenith?
Now I have 'html5' in the GUI, but 'javascript' in the code, because I
think that is better w.r.t. flash.
The major reason I ask is that if we want to create the play_html5_560
play_flash_560 (not sure that's a good idea, I prefer that people have
to put in a bit more effort to choose an engine different than the
author wanted, so play_560?engine=html5)
Still even if we leave it at the engine=.... what will we call the engines?
I prefer flash/javascript
