Comment #80 on issue 235 by [email protected]: Support the Javascript E4X extension
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=235
And "XML is still out there" is quite an understatement at that---It is increasing in use on the web for document-centric data, as projects like TEI are finding their way online. And there's a little something called X/HTML which is still being used the last time I checked :) ...and which makes for great templating: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/E4X_for_templating . I don't know when people will get it out of their heads that XML is only for data, because it is indeed not ideal for data, but its close-tag redundancy helps for readability with non-structured data while allowing for whitespace independence--something convenient for DOCUMENTS. There really should be a native solution in JavaScript for templating... I'll let it rest though as we should be joining in on the latest ES discussions, but just wanted to make that point.
