For a "proof-of-concept", implementations are needed for enough of the framework to make it obvious it can be make to work with GUI API's that follow the same general model. Particularly the event/callback/other-flow-of-control mechanisms. I know that Windows and X Window are major API's that follow very different flow-of-control models. Is the Mac sufficiently different to be an important proof-of-concept case? Are there others?
