The main problem is the usage of YUI 2.x for the impl.
I've suggested to do something about it 2 years ago (
http://markmail.org/message/er3vpubkjjj7cw4b).
No one needed/wanted to improve this module since then so I don't see
anything better than move it out of Apache Wicket distro.
I suggest to move it to WicketStuff so that it is still released for those
who may still use it happily.
