With regards to this are you talking about Pivot apps interacting with their
containing web-page, or actually providing scripting within Pivot?

In the latter case I don't see the point in JavaScript support within
Pivot.  This is Java-land after all and while this is a RIA which can run in
a browser, one of the appealing things to a lot of developers will be that
they can create a functional, server-backed RIA in Java end to end... so why
not just use Groovy and dump JavaScript support within Pivot?

Just a thought.

Cheers,
Chris
