The level isn't terribly critical -- we will need both, to describe
both fine grained as well as higher level control of widgets,
especially if there is to be any hope for crafting similar UIs.  

While they can initially be hardcoded,  flex-coding the underlying
components will be preferred in the long run.  

(usual disclaimers on top-down vs. bottom-up design arguments, yadda yadda...).
