    Seems we are interpreting what he wrote ("make it possible for the web-app and MUI-app to communicate" in comment #81 and "That was exactly my point!" in comment #84) very differently ;-)

    Yes, of course, the look and behaviour of a MUI GUI can be recreated in HTML/CSS/JS. One issue that comes to mind is how to keep the UIs consistent in an automatic way when the user changes his MUI settings, though.

    I very much share this general notion, but then the MorphOS team's points against provision of an X11 server (see AmiCygnix, where visual integration into the OS-native UI has been increased once more with the current release) come to mind ;-)
