this will become a table with the most essential PUI directives (non-widgets), such as layout/styling and common PUI widget functionality (think live properties, bindings, conditions), so that we can keep track of what's missing/needed and finished already.
The basic idea can be seen below:
| tag/directive | description | priority | progress | remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
<property>, <format> |
formats properties | high |  |
working proof-of-concept |
<enable>, <visible> |
enables/disables and hides/shows widgets dynamically | high | n/a | still to be done |
<font> |
toggles default font for labels/buttons etc | low | n/a | not very difficult to do (see canvas font mapping example) |
<color> |
allows widget-specific colors to be overridden per widget | low | can be done via DefaultStyle.nas | not difficult, but also not very important either |

We will need to come up with some kind of "adapter" class that maps common PUI functionality to arbitrary Canvas widgets, specifically:
<height>and<width><legend><label><property>and<format><binding><default><enable><visible>(easy)<keynum>and<key><font><color>
Currently, this is accomplished in non-generic, fairly roundabout, fashion in the applyPUIAttributes() helper function in the pui2canvas parser
