Aspects of this proposal are similar to Cocoa Auto Layout introduced in
Lion. It wouldn't handle everything (like fundamental view
restructuring), but if we could:
a) Get a few of the rough edges sanded down on the Mac side
(NSSplitView, hint hint) and;
b) Get an iOS implementation
it would greatly simplify certain aspects of design.
Auto Layout definitely has a substantial run-time component, so I'm not
sure whether existing hardware could handle the load while still
guaranteeing performance, but then again the iPad 3 is pretty fast...
