That is simply the wrong way of doing things.
With browsers or webviews what they are today, you can do all display logic

The server just needs to provide the suitable data.
Of course I do agree that it would be a lot nicer to have a remote GUI that
supports displaying forms on a browser (and in fact I do have a device (QNAP
NAS) that does this in a way that looks and feels very similar to what is
standard with a Lazarus Application. I did not find out whether they did
their own Java Script Widget implementation or if they licensed a 3rd party
product for that.
They use extjs 3.3. We use QNap too.
But I don't see how somebody will start a new project similar to EXTPascal,
that needs a lot of Java Script knowledge and supposedly will only be able to
support a basic set of the LCL Widgets. Moreover the HTTP protocol is a bad
choice for remoting a GUI, as it does not decently support server->Client
signaling.
Remoting a gui is a bad idea, I would not spend time on this approach.
