This is a concept I would very much like to see work. It's probably a couple of years of effort at least (from a dedicated team) to get something looking remotely cool, but it could spark the next generation of muds. Muds that interrogate clients about what capabilities they have and arrange their output accordingly. Muds that all support the high end of presentation abilities (MXP, MSP, etc.) as well as some other, long-established protocols (curses has been mentioned a lot recently). Muds that have an established, easy to use, builder's scripting language with plenty of good examples available. Ah, the sky's the limit.

The only problems, as far as I can see, would be coming up with a standard to work to, and getting out of analysis paralysis.
