Yes, I have worked with a system like this, though not as complete as what you describe. I wasn't intimately acquainted with it but what seemed to have been implemented was a repository for the attributes that should be used when, for instance, controlling rendering. What was interesting was that this "complete design" by the time I came to look at it, was not being used as various maintainers had circumvented the structure. This meant that there was little benefit to learning the implementation since, while older code conformed, newer code didn't. A sorry mess! I think there are various points. 1. is how desirable that sort of impl is in the first place. That is to find, learn and change. 2. Open Source can have a credibility and weight to it that comes by virtue of it being Open Source. Adam
