Ok, in my case, where I already have my data(&sources) bundled under Cocoon, I just wouldn't want to duplicate them or the presentation logic. I'd go for a fat client (the desktop app per the original poster) making requests to Cocoon. > Cocoon is superfluous to Mauro's needs and can only get in the way.

If he doesn't have a remote fat client in mind but instead want to have local files, you are absolutely right. I guess it all comes down to an accurate use case.
