Hi Dana, Thanks for your elaborate response. It's the first time I post to this list, so it's more of a trail by fire, and I expected nothing less. I can only say that I rather address this community than javascript's, because I expect it to be less sensitive to buzz, and more pliable, since the ink of the specs is barely dry.
As to who in particular should consider my ideas, I don't know, I'm just hoping for a discussion, because AFAICT this isn't set in stone yet.
