this is good:

this isn't:

this needs to be left entirely for the implementation state. if we
want to extend the requirements, i'd add:

   The customized UI mechanism should be capable of being implemented
   on all target platforms, and if possible should not make any
   assumptions about the nature of the GUI of the host itself. If a
   GUI toolkit is used to implement the customized UI mechanism, only
   cross-platform GUI toolkits or graphics APIs should be considered.

you cannot write Halion with XML+layered bitmaps. i want to be able to
write GMPI plugins like Halion.
