I can see LaTeX as demonstrating that there is no such (single) language. It seems to me that the elementary units (chapters, sections, paragraphs,...) depend almost entirely on the domain of the document (a book, an article,...).
This is what I had in mind while I tried to write the plumbing to agar objects: Defining your own widgets. A library to do this, it seems would consist of things like ActionProducers instead of Buttons, and TextInput instead of TextBoxen and ListBoxen... that is, of Event ()'s and Behaviour/Event String's, alongside with high-level renderers, coupled with a feedback mechanism, that'll then be called Button and TextBox. A Listbox is already made out of such primitives, but this should be transparent to the developer. Another most important thing that I really want to have, is to enable the end-user to edit presentation, in a sensible way, like re-specifying the width of textboxen, add additional hiding panes etc. -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity.
