@devinprater, thanks, I'll need to read that!

Remember when we've talked about improving the accessibility and security of CLIs? Well, I've been reading articles, papers and standards, and it's not a huge undertaking for a proof to get some budget, and there's plenty around for security.

A new stream would receive raw data and some rules to be sent to a program or a coprocessor. This would power a braile display, TTS engine and maybe a GUI toolkit for the frame buffer.

@devinprater@devin.masto.host, once we have that, the CLI tools will need to be revamped, we need a new type of terminal, one that outputs semantic markup or something even more basic, some binary serialized data without any text encoding and number …
