It's not very clear whether the terms and conditions actually require
execution in the browser.  Do you take it to be legitimate to do the
transformations server-side, say in node.js, provided the appropriate
license is obtained for the domains to which the transformed data is
served?  (U.S. law at least allows reverse engineering, despite the T
& C, for the sake of interoperability as a matter of fair use.)
