[Fresco-devel] UIML

Disclaimer: I've read the list for years and years but never done
substantial work with the code and never actually contributed code so I
may be way off base here.

There's a new XML dialect called UIML that I read something about.
Specifically it's a way to define UI's that can be translated to different
medium (their examples: cell phone, desktop pc, voice devices) without
changing the UI code.  This seems like a nice and standard way of fresco
to handle the UI stuff.  I assume it would take a serious rewrite of
warsaw (or whatever it is) to implement it, but I thought I would toss the
idea out anyways.  Maybe there could be a Warsaw_UIML or something, as an
option?

The main UIML site is http://www.uiml.org with sample syntax at
http://mit.iddl.vt.edu/courses/cs5244/coursecontent/mod5/lesson2/uiml5.html
and an interesting paper written on their reasoning at 
http://www.harmonia.com/resources/papers/www8_0599/index.htm

Tell me what you think.
