My comment is not really concerning Renaissance, but the idea of using GNUstep 
UI through the web...

What about feeding the Renaissance/Gorm interface through the web as is with 
some kind of scripts/compilable objc code? On the user's side the UI will be 
built as it is done currently by GNUstep apps, the script should handle local 
events and for more stuff it will send messages to a DO server on the other 
side. So, instead of:
    HTTP+HTML->Web Browser
there will be:
    DO+Renaissance or DO+Gorm -> GNUstep UI Client

Btw. in the newest cocoa there is quite nice class that can be used just for 
that: NSNib. Just transport it through the net, connect it to some proxy/script 
object and you have an UI for a remote server.

Is that possible?
