I thought about that. But, I feel that user interface issues go beyond 
morphic. There is also MVC (don't know who uses it today, though) and native 
hooks such as wxSqueak. My first suggestion to the group was to decide on UI 
heuristics or guidelines that applications would follow to help make Squeak 
more consistent for the user. Some agreed, some didn't say anything.

In any case, that's why I think it's a separate team. But, if others feel it 
is not, I'd like to hear their thoughts.
