Hi,
I don't think it's up to us to provide an api if we don't agree with the
one you provided. I think you need to
1] define your use cases with specific examples, saying "different types
of focus handling" is vague.
2] come up with a new approach that we can agree on.
Thanks,
Gabrielle

hello blake,
i completely agree.
as i said (see [1]):
it's an independent implementation i already have. so i'm able to
provide it.
i would appreciate if you (or someone else) provide an implementation,
which covers all requirements.
support for:
- subforms
- different types of focus handling
- conventions
and of course:
the solutions shouldn't break backward compatibility.
regards,
gerhard

I would rather have one mechanism that does the whole job rather than
two that partially solve the problem and then have to explain when you
should use one rather than the other.
