1) Always yay for documentation :)
Hopefully various others can contribute their various tidbits of knowledge
over time, should they have the time and desire :)

2) One thing that I noticed is that the docs give the impression that Embry=
o
is "above" the Edje library.
It's the reverse, I believe, Edje uses Embryo functions quite extensively.
Embryo doesn't have any dependancy on any other EFL lib, as far as I can
tell, and I don't know of it being used directly anywhere, other than in
Edje itself (although I've not checked EWL like the diagram shows). Embryo
does power the scripting in the .edc files, but the way *I* think of it is:
the embryo-based scripts describe *behavioural* part of the Edje theme file
format, powered by Embryo behind the scenes, where as all the *visual* part=
s
of the interface are powered by Evas. Edje brings these two different thing=
s
together to allow advanced themes to be built :)
