A few more points:

  - I don't know how file handling works exactly, but it would be nice if
    we were at least able to access files on the web.  Currently, we use
    wget for doing that and this does not seem to work with WebAssembly.
    But they probably provide some better way to do this?

  - Updating the extents of the window seems a bit buggy.

  - For changing some user preferences, we have to reboot TeXmacs.
    But this destroys the file system.  Is there some way to keep files
    that we created for a subsequent run?  Also useful for caching purposes
    by the way and the compilation process itself...

  - I get messages like "This webpage is using significant memory.
    Closing it may improve the responsiveness of your Mac".

  - I also tested with Chrome and it works.

Best wishes, --Joris
