Is this the approach (maybe not fully like OpenDoc, but in it's style)
that GoBe productive is taking?  I've been looking at their suite for my
Linux boxes, and they claim to do something similar.

I haven't had much time to look at it, so I'm not sure what they claim
for their architecture... was wondering if anyone knew it off the top of
their head.

BTW, I'm seriously starting to miss Be.  OS X has started to make me
remember all the things I loved about Be.
