Greetings,

I have come to wondering if there is a standard way to implement the 
following feature in konqueror.

In Kde 1x there was a feature that allowed a html page to be displayed in kfm 
for a directory listing.  In windows, there is a similar effect that occurs 
which allows the nicer looking folders in explorer et al.

I'm wondering if there is a standard way to implement this?  Does this exist 
currently in kde2x?

Is there an rfc someplace that designates in more details a standard as to 
how this is done -- excluding windows of course -- so that konq, nautilus, 
and so on can all use interchangeable html rendered directory listings?

I'm assuming it would be implements somewhat as follows.

There would have to be a html template someplace as a default, prehaps that 
could be over-ridden by a file in each dir, such as the trash dir, that 
display differently.

In this html file, there would have to be tags such as <path> which would 
insert the cwd.  There would also have to be a standard way of listing files 
to be drawn into a table to be put into part of the html.  Then pictures, 
etc, could be used to make nice borders, backgrounds, etc., sort of like the 
html document that about:blank uses.

Should this be something that kde and eazel work together on?
