The "web" approach is interesting. Ideally, one should expose some
hooks via REST-like URIs (dbus-mapping or something?), and then let
much of the interface build itself client side, javascript-style. The
FR is such a "weak" beast that it would be better to let as much work
as possible occur on the "strong" (e.g. desktop) side.

Just my two cents.
