I thought about it some more, and it might work like this:


  LocalAppBroker:   Here is biodata in LocusML 3.5.
                    I want to align these two nucleotide sequences.

  RemoteAppBroker:  I have nucleotide sequence aligner 2.7.
                    Let me check.
                    Okay.  That will require viewer 5.6.

  LocalAppBroker:   I don't have that.  Send it embedded in the LocusML.
 

If the local app broker (or user's installation) does have the right viewer...


  LocalAppBroker:   Here is biodata in LocusML 3.5.
                    I want to align these two nucleotide sequences.

  RemoteAppBroker:  I have nucleotide sequence aligner 2.7.
                    Let me check.
                    Okay.  That will require viewer 5.6.

  LocalAppBroker:   I have that.  Send just the results of the analysis.
