The next real step forward would be implementing the "vis" part of "vision",
a toolkit that would build user interfaces to the user's preferences from 
a high-level semantic description of the program.

But that is too big a task for me to undertake, at the moment at least,
and really fighting against the windmills. (Just consider what happened 
to HTML... people are too obsessed with pixel-precise alignment of 
everything.)

As for Ion, the old TODO list at
<http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00452.html>
still has some unimplemented entries, most notably a new workspace module.
Another new feature that I've been thinking about is a "scratchpad" that 
should help with popups (xmessage notifications, IM notifications, etc.).
Additionally, I'll quite likely revamp the binding configuration system
again :).

So, yes, there are plans for Ion3.
