as one of the trait "guy" we should consider that
        - probably what we got can be improved 
                for example I was discussing about the implementation in 
javascript and tom is proposing to have a 
                a shallow rename of methods + adding a requirement instead of 
an alias (this way you can limit the interface explosion)

        - I did not like the stateful traits even if this is my idea.
        what we tried to do what do make sure that we do not have to recompile 
the code in each user.
        Now since methods are not shared (I'm sad about that) between trait 
user then we could recompile
        the methods for each user and users could have different states and 
state layout.

        - for state the question in initialize: how do we initialize trait 
state in the composite in an elegant way
        in ambianttalk we get 
                        T1>>initialize
                        T2>>initialize
                        C
                                T1 initialize -> T1init
                                T2 initialize -> T2init
                        and initialize
                                        self T1init.
                                        self T2init

        - for Plug like delegatee we are working with people from KUL on 
understanding a kind of subobject trait based approach.
        We will send information when the paper is published. But you can read 
the ecoop paper of marko van dooren 


        - Did you check the solution proposed in VW to have state in traits?
        I do not remember it (shame on my weak memory)

Good! I like the idea to have traits shared between browser.
