It's interesting, because I was hoping that these toolkits would have been implemented in C# with an architecture that better supported generic serialization. Certainly, a custom parser can pretty easily be written, but given that these toolkits are being ported to C#, why not do it right, and allow for generic parsing and serialization/deserialization algorithms? Well, that's my 2c.

Got any contacts of people/groups involved in this? I'd really like to see that happen, and I've even been considering the idea of creating some sort of a consortium or something that promotes this kind of xaml-ification of toolkits. Having worked (or my customer having worked) with big hitters like DevExpress and Infragistics, there's a wide spectrum of toolkits that need to be brought up to par for declarative programming happiness to be achieved.

This one sounds like a good example of an API that needs a serious overhaul in order to support this type of feature.
Marc, have you checked out at all KDE? I would be curious to see if it's API would be better suited towards XAML. Or how about wxWindows?
