Hi, Just one small thought on top of this:
Groups / hirachy of actions are relevant: This means: - I inserted a picture, but this picture is not relevant. I want to delete the picture and all the actions with the text. - The same is true for text formatting or changing things while being in a dialog. Being able to edit it is a big feature.... So from my POV: Every element needs to have an ID and every action can depend on a other action. To keep it simple hirachy (which is the same as a depends on) might not be necessary... But would be nice for grouping actions.... >From my point of view a editor for the DSL would be required to ensure the quality and expressiveness of the DSL. Thanks for considering it.
