Still primitive but the functionality does exist. An interesting thing to try could be to have in the standard menus not only text and links, but form input elements. That way you could put in noninvasive input throughout (ie, enter your email to be updated, at the bottom of the page). This can also eliminate the need for defining ASKs seperately. There can also be added a(n official) way to send files (like http/html can do).
