Would it be hard to mix & match native gui elements with the canvases on the several platforms? There is angelfonts and a few (closed source?) gui libraries, but how hard would it be to make a lib which adds 'native' fonts and controls? Most supported platforms have them anyway and I can imagine to make them as libraries, but what do you guys(and girls) think?

So in JS you would be able to add HTML elements (input button/radio/text/etc) with a JS abstraction (there are tons of libs for that), on iOS, Android, Mac, Win it would be trivial what controls that would be etc.

Does that have any merit?

Reason I ask is that I have a lot (lot!) of requests for apps which mix these elements in a big way; kind of social app/games, not pure games, but apps with a high content of game in them. I think it would help a lot of people though probably?

Note: I am willing to (help) build them, however I would not know the best plan of attack.
