Dont' know the story.  I find it an interesting idea and 
would like to see some production systems deployed.  The 
last time I looked at this I concluded that for the server 
side it was still a little too early for us, and that there 
are no client tools available.

I still have the same issue as to how you do a reasonable 
GUI over the web, starting and ending in XML.  Everyone says 
you just use XLST.  But, XLST is not only another 
programming language, it is declarative.  I am sure this 
presents few problems to the programmers on this list.  But 
I have to be sensitive to increasing the complexity of a 
development environment to a team of a dozen programmers, 
only a few of which are senior enough to not be troubled by 
adding in a second, completely orthogonal language.

   Besides, does everyone really want to have to use two 
programming languages each and every time you write a GUI?
