I agree. XML-type styles or CSS and so forth strike me as ideas that
should carry over into non-web UI architecture, and I consider this sort
of thing a worthwhile addition to Slate's UI layer.

I should also add that I'd like there to be a way to use the same UI
"language" for both desktop and web interfaces... this is one aspect of
CLIM's "backend" independence, and it did indeed have a web backend in the
mid-90's, although nowadays it would be a lot easier with SVG, CSS, and
JavaScript/AJAX.

Okay, thanks for keeping this in mind.
