I've no idea, but maybe just like ActiveX is possible to access from HTML,
i.e. those marked safe for scripting and all that stuff.

In the docs have a look at

mk:@MSITStore:D:\Program%20Files\NGWSSDK\Docs\cpappendix.chm::/html/_cor_cod
e_download_using_ie5.htm

It tells about how appdomains are used to download the assemblies. Right
now
the question would be what about the support for other browsers (well other
browsers may be running on other platform, where this runtime is anyway not
present). Just a cuation it is different from activeX control download !

Just in case -- IE5 was modified to support the bind contexts availalable
to
mime filters !
Most probably it will be the cab files that will be final thing that is
supported
