I have never looked in detail at PolyMorph.

Hilaire, I think it would be good to start by building a list of desired 
widgets / controls (what is the correct word for these?). Perhaps you 
can start one, maybe using PolyMorph as a guide. This will be a very 
useful project. Many (me included) will help write them.

Interesting! Please let us know how that goes. I've attended 
presentations, and talked quite a bit with Pocho, but have never 
actually used Bee DRM at all.
