Peter,

I think that is a great Idea!! Peter....I agree the the WebDraw Feature
(the ability to switch back and forth between source and canvas using tab 
user interface) is great feature......I think it would be nice to start to 
think about a Application Module;

(I would like to propose the name: "Batik Tulis"
(tulis means 'write' in Indonesian)

http://www.balifolder.com/reference/culture/02,06,05,04,06.shtml

The batik available on Bali includes block prints and hand-painted batik. 
Intricate hand-drawn designs (batik tulis) are more expensive than simpler 
designs created with stamp blocks (batik cap). The colors on block-printed 
batik are soft and only printed on one side, while the colors on batik tulis 
(true batik) are much richer and equally vibrant on both sides of the cloth. 
Each of these styles can be printed on any quality of cotton.
allow such a thing
http://xml.apache.org/batik/architecture.html

.....I would like to expand on the tabbed user interface idea:
I think it would be great to have tabs to:
editable Java source
editable SVG source
editable dom tree
editable XSLT/FO-XSL
editable ECMAScript (JavaScript) language
editable...what ever
all changes can be viewed in real time on the canvas(browser....Bakit 
already has the browser ;-)

Between Batik toolkit and the rest of Apache ....I belive we have all that 
would be needed.........anyone what to play with this idea...may be we could 
make a general proposal to Batik/Apache?

We all learn when we share what we know
