I still think that moving the WS UI to sysext/version is wrong.
Versioning may exist without WS, but WS depends on versioning. IMHO the
proper way is that either sysext/workspace extends sysext/version
directly (either by XCLASS or by extending the classes "properly") or
that sysext/verions provides hooks or an API so that sysext/workspace
can extend/modify it.

As for the underlying API: as we know the code is scattered. Most of the
processing code is within TCEmain, but various initialization and check
code is to be found in many other classes. I think it is possible to
extract all those code fragements and functions (besides the one in
TCEmain which should stay there) and move it to one or two dedicated WS
classes.
