I am not surprised someone is already doing this. Another thing I think would possibly be a good idea that I have heard some discussion about is a universal component architecture that is interpreted at run time. The work that has gone on with VRML over the last few years seems like a start for this, even though VRML's application is more 3D in scope. Hey, I love JavaBeans and yes there is the JavaBeans -> ActiveX bridge, but I think that some sort of true universal component architecture based somewhat on MVC with the model being something like XML, the view being something like VRML, and the controller being a platform specific event handler like in Microsoft's DHTML would be a true first start.
