Perhaps 0wl means a GUI toolkit that is mostly written in Scheme,
instead of mostly a wrapper to libraries written in some other language.
That would allow the toolkit to be more Schemey. It could have a
"presentation layer" that renders to HTML/Js/websockets, to make an app
available over the web.

Is that it? There's certainly a place for that kind of experimentation
within the broader Guile project; probably not in the Guile repo itself,
but who knows?
