My solution isn't nearly as sexy but works very well for me... I have
"viewer objects' in my mud that convert notification of mud events to teh
rpoerp textual (oir non textual) comamdns to drive the atatched interface
client.

Its basicly another kind of "driver" approach and so far works great. I can
treamlien teh data acrroding to what the particualr client-type needs and
supprot amhy different kidsn of clients at ocne potentially (my ultimate
goal).
