Web-management minutia! This, to me, is more of a feature than subset or even a new market. How one accesses a device whether via command line, using a commercial SNMP NMS product or thru a browser all merely means of communicating with the device. Manageability is more a function of what one can do on the box beyond simply viewing status and statistics. A dumb switch won't allow the user to set up port mirroring for example.

I guess the proper determination of whether this makes sense or not is "are people buying it?"
