Be used by RTL languages, Arab, etc. ?
Adrian made efforts for that also, I think we can't lose that on the road...

Would that be accessible? In other words, is it blind/sight impaired accessible?

Converting the widget system to GWT would be a major
strategic challenge. You would probably need an entirely new
renderer that just sent the XML descriptions of screens to a
mini-screen display application on the client. The client
would then instantiate GWT widgets and bind them together
with events that would execute the server side logic when
they are clicked.
One major difference is the fact that GWT widgets have
state in the sense of Swing or even JSF whereas OFBiz
widgets do not.
