UI-hooks as APIs?

The proposal here assumes that extensions only depend on things with GUIDs, but there are other things, like for example IDs to hook up to in overlays as well as using known bugs in implementations of interfaces, fixing of which doesn't necessarily should rev the IID of the interface.

We would need to rev all dependent contracts of a changed contract, too.

Sounds hard to maintain. Harder than necessary? --AxelHecht 08:38, 26 November 2006 (PST)
