That could be interesting, I guess.

I guess that could be done, at least for the subpanels. It needs to be
fairly restrictive to be able to describe the panel structure (one level
submenus, although there has been a suggestion for nested menus). I'm
not sure it will be very beneficial and I also don't immediately see the
advantage of being able to edit the files with an editor.

I have that one right now in my preliminary implementation :-)

Thanks for the input,
