I am very excited about QCTerm. The closest thing that the W3C has come to
it is Scalable Vector Graphics. It gives you the line and font
presentation, but QCTerm gives you that basic yet very powerful screen
handling. I've only briefly looked at the XForms spec, but it still suffers
from the same issues with state that are not a problem with QCTerm.
