UI seems to be effectively described using some sort of a markup language. HTML being the most well-understood markup language becomes a reasonable thing for stuff outside just web pages. It isnt perfect but it gets the job done. Sorta like phonegap :/

Thing is that these days HTML is a pile of div tags that CSS and JS dangle off.

Damn it, didn't we just have an article on HN about creating art using CSS?!

Indeed. A part of me is sad to see the semantic vision of XHTML lost in the mix. Though with care HTML5 can be more descriptive than its predecessors.
