Even though interesting, it is not really critical for the whole discussion:

It depends what one thing the future for of the authoring languages are: Is
it PS quality graphics with embedded links, or may it involve to something
more advanced such as WWW extended with the capacities of JVM and
distributed programming, and other structures such as formulas and such.

Then the model with extending via a \special command and trying to get
Adobe to extend every time is not going to work well: It is going to be
very fragile.
