Thanks for your response. I've now excised Prototype and Scriptaculous from our main application completely (except for some add ons and customer code that has yet to be upgraded) and am going with MochiKit + selective use of YUI. It took a little bit of work, but I was able to use YUI's new DataGrid and DataSet system while using our own MochiKit.Async based system for working with XMLHTTPRequest; and as such I didn't need to load in Yahoo's Connector (I think that's their XHR package) at all. That was impressive. Equally impressive: our packed MochiKit plus our own libraries + YUI's core (base, dom, event) + YUI's DataTable and DataSet and Container (among the larger libraries) :: it all came to be smaller in size than our Mochikit, internal libraries, Prototype, and Scriptaculous setup. So, thanks again for your response. I think this is going to be the right combination for us.
