inline djvu is not natively supported by mozilla/Firefox (or any other
web browser), so this would be very nontrivial to implement.

I think the remainder of this message (below) belongs on the hOCR
discussion list, which I have included

I don't mean inline djvu, but embedding.

We embed DjVu e.g. on the welcome page of our digital library

http://bc.klf.uw.edu.pl/

and nobody never complained. Please check yourself.
