There are some C libraries around that maybe used.

Only some browsers can do it, which for many purposes it is not good
enough. In the end you often want to generate HTML on the server side
that is more appropriate for the world. Some solutions of serving XML
rely on Java applets, but I wouldn't rely on that if I could use a much
more browser independent solution, not to speak that Java applets are not
exactly the ideal solution when it comes to speed.
