It is, however, a question for the X consortium to ponder. Even the XFree team would be ill-advised to impliment something like this if it were not part of standard X. I wonder how either LBX (which seems to not be continuing development) or sxpc would compare to this concept. While these are not platform-independent, they are perhaps more fully developed than java. This is, however, not a debian concern, I don't think. -- David L.
