On a related note to all this, one should mention evolve/edc.
There has been recent work on etk to extend the canvas widget
and to allow for importing any evas object as an etk widget, with
the eventual goal of allowing such notions to be representable via
evolve's edc.
There's also some work on a timeline based animation framework
that could also be represented via evolve's edc syntax.. So, there
seems to be a possible extension of edje there in some non-trivial
ways.
Maybe Hisham could give some further comments on what may be
planned there...?
