Hmm.

Sounds like there needs to be a new layer between dialog being exposed 
by the source code and the appearant UI that is dependent on such 
dialog. At the ideas expressed and the direction of the code now, a new 
scriptable layer is not out of the question to make such cohesion easier 
without worry over the strictness of either gettext() or XUI.

Something to keep in mind for now.

The XUI system is very barebones as it exists in Second Life. Firefox is 
an example that allows quite more flexibility in the the XUI. The skins, 
colors, fonts, decorations, language, and etc are all customizable, but 
it does use a code base to rely on such flexibility.  Eclipse is is 
another good example. While Eclipse doesn't have some of the XUI 
eyecandy that Firefox provides, it does have excellent content layout 
that can be completely configured, yet Eclipse usually relies on a Java 
code base for its flexibility. The point here is obvious that in order 
to get higher flexibility in the UI and dialog interfaces we need to 
have a new code layer, and one that is scriptable allows for the UI to 
be configured and edited like a plug-in, which means the scriptable UI 
can change independently from a particle code base release.

Cheers
