thanks! (as always, i'm not really satisfied with the code, but i
intend to fix that with DENG 2.0)

That's correct. The 74k SWF contains all namespaces currently
available for DENG (XHTML, XForms, XFrames, SVG, SMIL) plus CSS, XPath
and XML Events.

claus.packts.net should be up again soon, sorry for the inconvenience.

Btw, the DENG homepage will be moving to deng.com.br somewhen this
summer, and (thanks to grandmaster Balkan for making this possible)
the source repository will move from Sourceforge over to
osflash/sourcesecure.

DENG 1.0 with 'only' XHTML and CSS is about 39k. If you only want
support for DIV, you can slim it down more, i guess it will be around
30k then.

Yes, but DENG 1.0 doesn't support advanced box model features like
floats, absolute and relative positioning etc (the latter two should
be easy to implement though)

I haven't started developing the DENG 2.0 framework yet, as i am
waiting for the next player generation to arrive (that might take a
while yet). I'll be around here and in #osflash and #codeazur on
irc.freenode, and keep you guys updated on roadmap and progress. Would
be great to have you on board.
cheers,
claus.
