I'd love to see lotro offer this kind of support, but in its current form I'd suggest starting with an app that translates between tag based and the object based that we currently have to work with. Preferably an app that translates between the skinning type tag system, that way as the API gradually exposes access, it is easier to covert over existing windowed examples into addon-land.
The idea I've been toying with is a "visual basic"-like lua addon, for dragging / dropping controls on blank window pane while in game and editing the properties. Lua language coupled with the lotro controls give all the necessary support to make this happen. Since the designer addon is in game, you get all of the sizing, etc.. correct w/o a bunch of reloads.
I'd love to see the UI go more tag based. Much easier to lay stuff out that way (at least easier for my brain to visually lay it out that way).
