The main problem with this is that the data shouldn't have to know 
about how it's going to be presented.

When you want to display something on (say) a PDA, you might choose to 
have different representations (shorter strings, no colors, etc.).

Maybe the best strategy would be to have an intervening policy object 
between the data and the widgets that determines how a given piece of 
data would be presented in a particular kind of UI.
