My spin on the GUI is to try to use HTML 5 & Java Script. When I last
looked I found no set of C/C++ graphics packages that were totally cross
platform. But web browsers seem to be all migrating towards a common
standard. The challenge would be to put a XML server interface on
gnucap, or design a plugin for apache.

How you wants to do it by using an interface or through
command window?
Both!
Everything should be done through gnucap commands.
Then you can have a command window, a place where you can enter
gnucap commands. (maybe restricted, maybe not restricted)
And you can have buttons and other GUI features too. The
buttons issue gnucap commands.
This way of doing it is modular. Modularity is important.
Imagine ... a few years from now, it becomes desirable to port
to a different graphics library. What will you do?
Example of that: Several FOSS projects were built around QT
version 3, then experienced great pain trying to convert to QT
version 4. Some of them still have not been successful at doing
this.
These things come and go. Some of us remember things like Xaw,
Motif, Open Look, NeXT, ...
