Ok, that sounds like a very cool idea, I am all for making as much of Pd be 'Pure Data' as possible. By making more of the GUI in the realm of Pd messages, then it would allow [widget]-like functionality with native Pd msgs, while being GUI toolkit agnostic. But that is also probably not a holiday task.
yes, thats exactly what xgui already does, its just a question of implementing this idea efficiently. nothing new ..
ah, yes, and of course the template stuff does the same thing ..
Which is, what I would like to mention, too. The template stuff is quite cool, unfourtunatly it is really hard to understand deeply and doesn't cope well with Graph-on-parent patches in my (small) experience.
But: It is independent of the toolkit, Pd uses. It's a whole new syntax, that seems quite flexible.
If it only would find more users, so the rough edges can be found and smoothed out...
I don't think, something so tied to a toolkit as toxy is the way to go in the long run.
