i don't think that is a core value on the platform (one could point to various 
toolkits as examples here, from Motif to the new enlightenment stuff); but it 
should be *possible* for anyone to write a toolkit properly and it actually 
be able to achieve equal standing technologically.

right now that is nigh impossible as we don't have a set of functional targets 
that can be written to. let's fix that =)
