I am worried about it and hence scratching my itch :-)  I have not seen any
proposal better than mine so far.

My goal is to have a solution that does not make the user touch HTML, JS or
CSS.  The current workflow we have with Flex + FXG is far superior than
anything out there.  I am just trying to see how to keep these workflows
going forward but still support cross compilation.
