I guess this depends what we are calling "embedding". At NCU we provide
our own user instructions page but point to the installer download links
directly to CAT, via the UserAPI. I think that this is absolutely fine.
What I would be against, would be embedding the entire CAT GUI as a
frame, for this I do not see any arguments.
