no, absolutely not. But I see it as a possible replacement. I'm going to experiment in a "never to be committed" check-out (I promise!) and see if I can do all the callback functionality without callbacks.

Rather, it is a general mechanism for querying information about the
currently loaded model. It is targeted at external programs ... Java &
JavaScript.


precisely. The key is that it is synchronous.

I think that it is related to the callback mechanism in that the callback
mechanism (and 'show') is currently the only way to get information about
the model and the state of the display.


exactly. That's why I wanted to specifically implement all the "show" functionality....and a bit more.
