The next release of HyBrick will be as a plug-in, including support for
proxy servers - a key feature we've been missing. While I can't give an
exact release date yet, this work is well advanced.

By making HyBrick a plug-in, we're providing a way around the absence of
Form support in DSSSL. We could have added our own custom flow-objects to
handle Forms and this might prove useful in the future. In fact, "Dynamic
DSSSL" could be a whole new area for discussion. Right now though, we want
to explore the possibilities made available by launching HyBrick from an
HTML page. They should be considerable.
