I’m not 100% clear on the status of the back-ports or the best way to go about it. I figured I’d wait until we’re done with the release and then coordinate with you and Peter.
In the meantime, I started work on some XML classes. I pretty much decided on departing a bit from classic E4X for two reasons: 1. It’s just about impossibly to reproduce the E4X behavior. 2. E4X was always awkward to use. I’m going to more or less copy the public API of XML, but my version of XMLList is going to work differently. Both XML and XMLList (I’m calling them XMLNode and XMLNodeList) will have filter functions which work similar to Array filter functions. This should allow getting chunks of XML in a more sane method than using hard-to-read E4X expressions. I’m hoping to have something commit-able on that front by the end of the week. I’ll try to follow what you are doing with DragDrop and Effects so I get a better feel of how it’s done.
