Is it still pure javascript? Are you planning on rolling the improvements back into mapbuilder? Or is this something different? Did you write a human text filter parser (like length < 5, translate to an ogc filter), or do you have to write out the full xml filters? And/or are you making use of some of the geoserver framework? I would really like a web client framework, as one of our future plug-ins to geoserver, something like the arcims authoring tools - I think that's the only thing we really lack vis a vis arcims.

Are you talking about the performance stuff? Passing the filters to the backend datastore? I would very much like to see more, and remember David commented on how it's not actually passing as much as possible back. I wonder if there's ways to further optimize that? I think that would be the best - I think Dave's concern was the if/else stuff, but if the sld has just one rule, then it should be fully turned to the backend filtering...
