BTW, I would love to see Interface Builder reproduced in CCL.  It would be particularly cool in this day and age to be able to build a UI using an IFB workalike, and then be able to render that interface as a web form.  I don't have time to work on this myself, but I'd be happy to pay someone else to do it.  So if there's anyone out there looking for contract work who wants to tackle this please contact me.
