XML with SVG provides a lot of possibilities. If you want to have animations etc. then PNG-format provides means for this as well. OpenGL does not provide sufficient added value for this type of usage, IMO, but it will make things way more complicated. Full colour OSD with above mentioned means would provide real nice platform for OSD developers. There is at least one drawback with this idea and that's additional CPU power requirements. Maybe simple XML and SVG would not be too CPU hungry after all..
