As I noted in another post, Wellman's navAccordion.html program (and likely
several others of his that now have problems with the new release of jquery and the UI ) worked with the last stable releases of both jquery and the UI. Providing some means (addon, "plugin") to allow for backward compatibility is important. May well not need to be in the jquery core, but they should exist.
