Sure. I'll let you know what I find
We just had a little brainstorm about how to get the data classes
working in swf9. Tucker can chime in here
if I say something bogus below, but here's my view of what to do:
There's a problem right now because LzDataElement is implemented
using a "trait" to mix in some behavior,
and we don't have traits implemented in the compiler for swf9.
The issue is that LzDataElement mixes in a class called
"LzDataNode", and "LzMiniNode".
There's a proposal to rearrange things a little in the base classes
so that everyone inherits from LzDataNode.
So LzDataElement and other data classes would subclass LzDataNode, and
LzNode would also subclass LzDataNode. LzDataset could then inherit
from LzDataElement. We can get rid of
LzMiniNode.

We wanted to do some kind of benchmarking before we commit to this,
in case having this structure of classes
somehow slows down data performance. So if there were some way you
could make this change and see if the
code still works and if it doesn't slow down, then we would proceed
with this reorganization and then try to make the
code compile cleanly in swf9/devildog.
