Really I would steer away from a browser interface for such an app. 
While a browser interface makes things easily and almost universally 
accessible, I have to ask if that is a requirement for this app.  One 
reason is that so much functionality is lost in not having mouse right 
click accessibility.

We were burned by this when many people were used to Outlook, Outlook 
Express, and Thunderbird and switched most of them to a browser based 
email interface that *looked* similar, but couldn't act similarly 
because of the loss of drag/drop and right click menus.
