There seem to be a bunch of files missing too. For example, I can't find XBLDocument or XMLBindingsManager. I don't mean to hate on XBL, I just started looking at it when deploying adoptPtr and was surprised by what I found, that's all. Adam On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 10:13 AM, Darin Adler wrote

I think Hyatt should comment on this before we decide. I do think that removing the code would be good but he may have some additional insight. -- Darin ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinf

I recommend removing the XBL code. Hyatt started it years ago. Jullien works on it for a summer as my GSoC mentee. Anyone who wants to write a fully working XBL2 implementation can look in svn history. As-is, it's untested, unbuildable, and a drag on the project. -eric On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at

The existing code is very confused. For example, it doesn't seem to know that RefCounted objects start with an initial ref. My guess is that it was written a long time ago and then was abandoned. As the project moved forward, this code got left behind. Adam On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 9:26 AM, Di

Hear hear. I am still very interesting in having something like XBL in WebKit and am now to the point of having good chunk of time to work on this. Having said that, I am not sure how much of the current XBL-related code remains useful. If it's not, we might just as well zap it and start with a cle
