We can do that. It would be definitely sub-optimal, because we'd
essentially have a fork (two implementations of the core, at least). We
would need a strictly and consensually defined protocol for core/UI
communication. 

The contention here isn't the UI. Everyone agrees that a web UI would be
nice, as would a desktop-based UI. People disagree on the implementation
of the core as a GLAMP application versus a conventional daemon. But if
we accept the duplicated effort, there's no reason not to have both.
