Yeah, I might be just re-inventing the wheel here, who knows? But I had this (original? I doubt it) idea a few months ago and I was meant to write about it for some time now. So, my idea is about creating a new operating system that is like none of the current ones. It would be so different, that porting applications from other "traditional" systems wouldn't be possible. But the gains would be much more important of what we would lose by implementing a brand new new system.

The article mentioned something very close to BeOS, though.
First was the MIME type stuff signature for every file. This makes an action dependent on the mimetype, figuring out what kind of app would launch the file.
The second one is definitely the Translation Kit, all translations are defined above the OS and below the user apps. Calling the services defined within this Kit provide all the translation services of any kind of file format.
