  How longer do you need to wait. UIML is more than
three years old and isn't going anywhere. No book are
forthcoming. No engines and so on. It's pratically
dead already.

  Have you used UIML for any of your applications? Can
you show me some links of live UIML apps? Or is this
just a philosphical argument with no foundation in the
real-world?

  That's the point. UIML is so abstract, you can use
it for anything and claim that it's superior. All you
have to do, is fill in the details.

  Again UIML is years old and a case-study of how
*not* to do it. Just using XML isn't enough.
