I have to recheck the latest code version, yes object.extend was very
critical, the other stuff as far as I can remember was not as crictical
(Array was fixed to the ecma specs, some additions to String etc...)
Still potential for breakage though, only the future will tell how
critical those extensions are.

Well,
but this issue is already fixed in prototype, right?
it was the Object.extend attribute - that is gone.
the other extensions shouldn't be a problem anymore, as far as I
understand Thomas, except for _namespacing_ issues.
And there we are again - _namespacing_ issues ;)

Martin

Thank you for the insight, Thomas. I think for my purposes, for what
that's worth, I will continue to use proto and manage the lib interop
issues as I have been. At least, anyway, until I have some time to
really put Dojo to the test. Good luck, Martin (and anyone else trying
to do this stuff in an open environment)... it would be interesting to
hear what comes of your situation, please keep us posted.
Actually for my components I probably will sandbox them for the
forseeable future but will develop them further along with a disclaimer
that there might be issues.
Scriptaculous is simply too good to be omitted.
Although Thomas answer as usual is excellent and basically gives
a huge insight into this issue (quality stuff like all of his work), it
is unsatisfying for the situation we face, in my opinion.
The problem is, interfering with basic structures although allowed still
is to critical for a base component set in my opinion, and having the
iteration problem resolved in a future version of javascript means that
we will se support for the fix in all major browsers around 2012 given
the current speed of browser development :-(
As I said all of this is a non issue in a normal application scope, but
in a library scope, I get a bad feeling.
