I've started implementation of the hooks. It is actually quite
straight-forward, so I think I'd have something working in a few hours work.
The hooks are needed for some other projects like i18n and richtext. With
some luck they can be based on 1.7 then.

I hope this will be ready somewhen next week, considering of course that
bugs still may be fixed in the freeze :-)

Perhaps I'll add an extra entry to thread shortly, to try to explain it
again.

For taglib2 I'd like to add a few features 

- it would be very neat e.g. if 'tree functions', and related-list delegation, could 
make it into 1.7,
  because I think these could be tremendously useful. This might not be very
  simple, but I think I might be nearly there soon.

Other desirable and relatively simply to implement new features might be

-  'collection attributes on lists' (set operations like,
   merge, removeAll and the like), which I've promised to Henk..

- the function tags. I've completely implemented those here, but I hold my
  breath for the 'funcion' hack, so I might need to somehow hack these
  implementations.

That would even nearly complete the taglib2 project, then (most points of
the project page are ready then)

But the release need not be stalled further for this, because the taglib is
in more or less consistent state now. I simply will franticly use the time
resting until the freeze to try to finish this, to make sure that lots of
bugs can be spotted to fix in the freeze itself :-)

If I may do a suggestion: how about 20 december. This gives us some times
for the last new things, and the silent days after that can be used for
testing.
