Yah. For simple hack-and-slay, communications (including combat
messages as part of communications) is generally the only
thing that originates within the mud. Other things are
initiated by a player command, and as long as they don't
take effect with a delay, then the command will generate
the http request to get the mud to react.

I have a vision of a web page with frames, one frame running
a telnet interface which handles the communications. How
feasible that is I don't know. But all the web-based chat
programs manage it so it can't be too grim.
