That makes a lot of sense, in an event-driven environment like most GUIs provide. Web applications tend to be a lot more linearly structured, though, and I suspect that mapping an event model onto it may make things more complex rather than simpler. Interestingly, that's essentially the approach to ASP.NET programming with Visual Studio.NET - you build web applications as if they were GUI applications, and Visual Studio writes lots of code for you to provide that illusion.
