However, isn't this 'thick client' web application architecture, (with the proprietary revlet download and requisite local machine/browser support by a rev plug-in) only one revServer scenario?
Yes.
According to the RunRev product page, it is still being positioned as an enabler of HTML+CSS+irev capabilities within a standard browser to create, platform-independent cloud-based applications. Or am I missing the point completely?
I just re-read the product page and think I see now where the misunderstanding happens. The server product does currently do HTML + CSS + irev. The mention of stacks at the bottom of the product page could be misleading though.
There have been requests that irev should use stacks as code libraries, just as we can on the desktop with "start using stack x" or "library stack x". The intention is to add that ability so that you can drop a library stack onto the server, start using it, and it's stack script will be available to irev handlers. Currently we need to write LiveCode scripts as text files and use "includes" for that. So that's what they mean by "LiveCode stack support intended for the first shipping version."
Probably the wording should be revised on the product page to make the intention clearer.
