I see your point, but this would prevent any attempt to do a 
web-interface that can be designed via the Lazarus gui designer and 
hence would-be cgi programs to be tested locally with "normal" Lazarus 
means, and allow for "easy"porting Lazarus (and Delphi) programs to be 
cgi's.

("Technically" such a "stateful" web GUI widget type could be crafted 
based on the "customdrawn" widget type and a java script / HTML5  
library that draws the basic widgets.)

IMOH, such a tool would be a great plus for Lazarus to offer, even if of 
course the look of such a thingy within the browser would not completely 
match the look on a "normal" desktop and certain controls are not 
available.
That is why I (at some other place) discussed websocktes.
