+<h3>Remotely running application</h3>
+
+<p>One of the most interresting aspect of using the binder afb-daemon
+is the ability to run applications remotely. This feature is
+possible because the binder afb-daemon implements native web
+protocols.</p>
+
+<p>So the <a href="#binder-fig-1">figure binder, basis</a> would become

+<h3>Adding native features to HTML5/QML applications</h3>
+
+<p>Applications can provide with their packaged delivery a plugin.
+That plugin will be instanciated for each application instance.
+The methods of the plugin will be accessible by applications and
+will be excuted within the security context.</p>
+
+<a name="Offering.services.to.the.system"></a>
+<h3>Offering services to the system</h3>
+
+<p>It is possible to run the binder afb-daemon as a daemon that provides the
+API of its plugins.</p>
+
+<p>This will be used for:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li><p>offering common APIs</p></li>
+<li><p>provide application&rsquo;s services (services provided as application)</p></li>

+<h2>The plugins of the binder afb-daemon</h2>
+
+<p>The binder can instanciate plugins. The primary use of plugins
+is to add native methods that can be accessed by applications
+written with any language through web technologies ala JSON RPC.</p>
+
+<p>This simple idea is declined to serves multiple purposes:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li><p>add native feature to applications</p></li>
+<li><p>add common API available by any applications</p></li>
+<li><p>provide customers services</p></li>
