[Xerte] Xerte3: on Mac?

Should this work?

Two thoughts:
1) Are there any other Mac users out there who might want to use Xerte natively on their machine? If so: perhaps we can share the costs for the plugin. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get some financial help from my boss ...
2) I think it is not so easy to just create Xerte as a web application, so we can just use it in a browser?
