Here's what I am envisioning : Allright, I'm convinced. :)
from a user prospective I'm not convinced. I've used this paradigm in java and using few php html (PHTML.php for example) libraries with postnuke (and I'm glad I don't have to use them anymore). I think this is an over complication for drupal. Writing modules (in my experience) does never require to have an uber-complex layout. Most of the time it's just a simple form (no nesting). Anything more complex can be achieved via css or a very simple table (I'll be happy to see a module that actually require a layout with severl level of nested layout). The current system is simple and well tailored for what drupal does. In java or xul is much more common to write complex layout because of the nature of the applications. Moreover I'm a lazy programmer and this proposal would require more typing. I personally love the way it is. :) p -- ++ Blog: http://blog.rsise.anu.edu.au/?q=pietro ++ ++ "All great truths begin as blasphemies." -George Bernard Shaw ++ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
