Don't get too carried away :) It was just caused by lack of coffee early in the morning. :)
Actually I do not see such a framework being very useful, at least not compared to the complexity involved. It seems like Will was way ahead and I truly believe that such a framework is viable only for: a - to build a startup point which will be refined later _by_hand_ (what I understand Will did) b - to automate part of app building, within some organization big enough to support continuous customizing of the generator. >From my experience, any other usage scenario for a (completely) automated app-builder is very unlikely. But then again, maybe I'm wrong or short-sighted.
