Re: Needed: Info on LISP X based toolkits

		"I wonder how the word "standard" crept into your
	discourse.  Or rather, why you think the existence of one
	standard precludes all others.  The beauty of a reasonable,
	low-level standard like X and its direct CLX analogue is that you

	of a multitude of toolkits, or standards if you prefer."

Wazzat?!?  Obviously you are using some definition of "standard" I have
been previously unaware of...  The issue at hand (I thought) is to work
towards an OO-{window,user-interface}-{system,toolkit,"standard"} that we
could all more-or-less agree is sortof right enough to actually use so
that we can all write portable user interfaces.  If X/clx/clue/whatever is to
be one of MANY (key word here) possible platforms to build a REAL
standard user interface package on, then it is the wrong level to be
arguing at.
