Actually, it is possible to read your code in the browser :-)
(open the following link in a new tab in your browser)

Interesting enough, it does not include the ID among
the properties saved as XML:
http://www.inspiredlogic.com/mc/ripperoutput.html

But adding this, and others new properties, should be a
piece of cake for professionals developers in
this platform. ( Not me! :-D )

Just keep wondering if complex grouped controls as
the datagrid could be saved and restored faithfully
using this method.

Ah!...

And now that we are talking about compiling binaries
from text files... Could this method be used via the
Livecode server to create stacks (and download them to
your own computer) using a web text editor
to write the scripts, create controls and their properties?

After this, Livecode will have run the full circle, from
GUI oriented platform to plain Text sources compiled
as binaries. :-D
