I think UI space is primarily relevant in applications which are meant
to be -used-. AboutSystem is meant to just "be there". In perfect
theory it would be opened once and never looked at again.
(Which is why I´ve always questioned its prominent entry in the Deskbar
menu. Why not put it on the desktop and let people throw it away if
they don´t find it useful.)
But anyway, I suppose an HTML document would be better suited than the
current textview in AboutSystem. Could be a link on the desktop to a
document somewhere in /boot/common.
