I agree that this might be a nice design rule, but unfortunately the FCL 
does not provide a message queue and thus a "TApplication" 
implementation, TTimer, Thread Synchronization and such things that 
(other than possibly their implementations) are not depending on a GUI 
but necessary for decent (headless, embedded) applications.
