Agreed.  That helps anchor my point that there isn't a "magic" way to
"convert" EXFMT into a GUI API call.  Such work really needs to be designed
in, rather than bolted on.

My point was poorly made.  I named you folks as examples of different
methods to Webify.  I should have made that clear.  WebFacing, CGI,
Net.Data, PSC/400 and Relational-Web all serve different needs and that was
my point - there's no single solution that'll serve the needs of re-facing,
re-vitalising and new development (although this market tends to try to bend
everything into a generic solution.)
