I think the important things are the following abilities:
a) separate the message area and minibuffer;
b) overlay the message area and modeline (message replaces file name?);
c) put a "pseudo-menubar" icon on modeline: clicking on it pops up a
popup-equivalent of menubar (i.e., vertical vs horizontal layout);
c') put modeline on top, since it is where one expects such icons;
d) ability to make a minibuffer overlaid "on top of" modeline, so it
does not take place when not needed.
e) ability to make emacs full-screen (no border, no taskbar visible);
f) ability to switch between two layouts (one as above, one "usual")
by one keypress.
This way one would be able to use 4 more lines for editing (crucial on
smaller average screens of today devices).
I think some of these must be trivial even today, some may require a
minor rewrite of the display engine...
Hope this helps,
Ilya
