On the other hand, the appli's presentation and custom (or IMAP) protocol
may be cramped by the current appli size limits.

Good point. That would be best if you're targeting a single, late model
(e.g., 505i), since an appli could make the most of its features. But if
you have a broader target, then the common denominators in the browsers
and the lack of size limits on the server code make the server side less
daunting.
(But I'm just idly speculating.)
