Custom Spaces
Disclaimer: this is only rough stub idea so far, real design is fully TODO!
Idea is to allow creation of custom spaces from scripts.
This would work in similar way to panels or UILists - but for whole spaces (so you define a Space class, fill it with all needed code, register it, and it shows up in Space Types menu).
Needless to say this is not a small project, complete space is much more complex than a simple panel or UI widget.
It should allow some much more advanced customization of Blender UI (also in relation with the Workflow and Blender 101 ideas), especially if combined with a new, powerful OpenGL drawing API? Or even with the 'OGL renderers' concept?
