One dodgy thought - what about a remote application embedding a small web server and doing http on stdin and stdout rather than over a socket, so that a local web browser could start the application over ssh?

I dare say of course that if that idea isn't completely useless someone will already have done it.

That is still going over a socket though, or so it looks to me, not stdin and stdout forwarded by ssh.
