The upcoming release of Developer/2000 will do exactly what you describe. Although another followup to your message indicated that the implementation of this functionality, i.e., not a straight Java applet, is somehow crippled.
Today (for a Windows 95 client/server Dev2K app), you build and deploy Forms in a compiled form (FMX file). This defines the form appearance, layout, user-interface elements, and certain validation that you have implemented at the client. All you need to do is recompile the same form for the WebForms, push the FMX file to the server where your Web Server and Web Cartridge are running, and it is auto-magically made available as a thin-client implementation....but the user-interface is practically identical in appearance and function. And the "developer" had to make no modifications to his Forms application whatsoever. Thus, the power of this lets you deploy your traditional client/server app as well as a thin-client implementation.
This is coming from my personal experience with the product, not just some published white paper or marketing collateral.
