Most of these platforms store the application
definition in XML and use a runtime engine to
interpret the XML in order to render the application.
So theoretically, if there was a way to convert from
one vendors XML to another you could get to no-lock-in
nirvana (or better still, have an open standard for
this). Needless to say, this is not going to happen
any time soon, but at least one vendor is making an
attempt to move in this direction. See story here http://www.powerinthecloud.com/blog/2009/2/24/a-new-
