Lalo and I talked about this briefly on IRC. In think the central idea
is simply to have a repository (the factory in the document) where you
can go and say, "I would like to view this object X, with display type
Y" and get back a list of possible candidate vobject implementations
that can view or control the "model" vobject. The "view type" or
"display type" could be a text terminal, 2D GUI, 3D environment, web
page, etc. This is a generalized notion of some of the ideas I was
exploring in the Interreality 3D prototype, with Lalo's interest in
specifically applying it to web apps.
Personally I think this makes a lot of sense, and is likely something
that should be part of the core APIs.
