That's right, essentially.

Perhaps the only thing I can add is a little bit of terminology.  Browsers may "request" Net.Data macros.  Net.Data macros may "call" native language programs.

Why make that distinction?  It may be helpful to note that Net.Data and native language programs run in the same address space and communicate via shared memory and parameters (calls), while browsers run on client systems and communicate with Net.Data via inter-system "messages".

If that matters.  I guess it matters from a performance perspective, and to the extent that the interfaces are a little different.
