I think that this would be a great way to create the UI because it would at the same time allow for
-great touch UI built by Nokia AND
-continued easy porting of open source software

I fear that if the focus elements are removed from UI, it will make porting applications that rely on them difficult. Of course I'm not a developer so this might not actually be a problem.
