i'd also like to point people to
http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/057/057.css&page=0
(i don't particularly like this design, but its fairly clear how to
get around the site from it).
the whole of csszengarden is an example of what can be done using CSS
for web pages. its sort of the inverse situation to ours: here, the
HTML for every page on the site is identical, but the CSS is different.
i find it quite encouraging when trying to imagine how a pixmap+XML
GUI specification might end up looking. some of the designs are ugly,
some are beautiful - either way, its hard for me to imagine that you
couldn't create a very very nice GUI using a similar system.
