Simple Toolkit Abstraction project idea

Hello,

I am the author of the colour management system Oyranos.
In this system I want to expose plug-in settings to users whithout knowing 
about the actual toolkit a application is runing inside.
Currently I think the system can build upon a small subset of XFORMS 
elements and extent in other parts.
The idea to (re-)use XFORMS syntax was born in a discussion with Jon Cruz 
from Inkscape, which does a lot with W3C XML.

The goal is to create a convention, which abstracts content logic from UI 
representation and from the data model:

This project is still in the design phase. It was as well suggested for a 
Google summer of code project, but several sides mentioned it to bee too 
complicated for a 3 months student work:

Here a question:
XFORMS documents can be displayed through FF with the xforms plug-in 
installed.
Are there other smaller footprint projects known to display XFORMS on a 
local host?


Any ideas and suggestions are welcome :-)


kind regards
