Fine.

Then clarify some more details please.

According to your definition the low-level part should implement the
controls with system independent interface. Consider a grid control (aka
list-view with details style). What interface should it have? Should it
store the data (with list_view::set_item_data()) or ask the owner to provide
the data when needed by a callback?

Recall message capturing/bubbling phases discussed before. Should the
low-level event handling component implement them or perhaps it'll be broken
into low-level component that merely captures system messages and a
high-level component that actually transfers them to their destination
(implementing capturing/bubbling and non-system events on the way)?
