EMF for the declarative UI makes sense.  Not sure if I see its as needed 
for the CSS portion since we're likely to get a CSS framework already 
cooked and our only job then is to map to SWT calls.  As I recall, that's 
what Matt's EclipseCon presentation did.  But in any case this is a good 
discussion to have in the call.

Regards,
Kevin
