For example, is it possible for me to write a package that connects Emacs f=
rom Firefox and exchange messages, so that I can manipulate texts and Firef=
ox layout directly from headless Emacs server?

Firefox is just an example. In general, I want to create a client that send=
s messages to Emacs daemon and receive back messages that tell my client ho=
w to manipulate my GUI objects and my client then starts handling based on =
the instructions. Currently, how easy it is to implement something like tha=
t?
