but you have an underlying screen description: DDS and the things you tie
into
a screen, e.g. subfiles. Even if you are using a user-defined datastream. The
datastream itself is a description of the screen. Both DDS and the datastream
can be used to build an internal "image" of the screen, which you then
generate
the HTML from. There are actually people that do that (I helped them). E.g.
http://www.twincentric.com.

This is not meant to belittle your product or effort (it is great). Just to
point
out that you are not quite alone.

Keep it up!
