I think we're just guessing what the full req's are.  If the 
requirements are for client-only capabilities (i.e. browser only, no 
server, not 'Net connection), then JavaScript or XUL (or other?) would 
be a way to go.  If the requirements are for client/server 
capabilities, then PHP would be my first choice.  In both cases, HTML 
would be a prerequisite.

As for the I.E. has 90% market share, built it and they will come.  
That is, build apps in XUL and package FireFox with it.  I do that with 
OOo all the time.
