HTML/etc. is a very different thing from some random XML format for a particular purpose. It is the most widely known, deployed, and portable UI technology by a very, very, very wide margin, and this is only going to get more true over time. Nobody ever got fired for buying HTML, so to speak. (Within LV2, as far as host generated UIs go, it makes more sense to define that data in Turtle, but that's a different approach entirely than making a "UI" in the toolkit sense). -dr _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
