Hm. a simple collection of questions? Certainly not.
I talking of a whole mechanism, where you group input
and output into contexts. From application view it
would be an API, it schould work no matter if the input/
output is generated from and to HTML, WML, XML or even
stand-allone GUIs.
I'm thinking of semantic groups of input, output and types
and ranges and default values including naming conventions.
