No because one single array can contain all the specs.
They do that in VW since 1997 at least and it work well
- you get a spec object tree
- you can generate the widgets you want
- morphic
- html5

As I already said it multiple time, XML or UISpec are the same except that
UISpec you get a
real tree with potentially sspecific nodes. All the rest you can do exactly the
same than wiht XML
One day I will prove that to you.

Not at all.
We do not need xml to represent UISpec!!!!!!!!
We can have plain objects and just call them UISpec. We can build a nice
visitor on the spec tree
and do a lot of things with it.
