I agree entirely.

I think that's a fantastic idea. Once I've stabalised the dynamic
updates and a parcel building problem we have I'll start sending you
advanced copies of Tech Preview 2 for you to play with.

Tech Preview 2 already includes the ability to use JavaScript, but
because of the lack of DOM and host objects in the version I used, it
is not terribly useful :)

It should be immediately obvious the kinds of support that should
be added, not just to support web-js code, but also to support the
sorts of operations smalltalkers might want to use.

It would be possible to build a development environment for javascript
and XML using with:Style. We could clash heads on this after all the
core work is done if you like?

DP>> Other semi-random thoughts:

Yep. I'd like to expose XPath's in to the DOM tree of VW's XML objects
more, they're underutilitised so far.

DP>> - JS in XSLT might be interesting - in both modes

There are so many ways to do this? What did you have in mind? (ie: what
did you mean by 'both modes')
