Personally I don't like removing features in a point release. I'd say it should be removed in 0.10 I agree that 0.9.1 is solid, perhaps a 0.9.2 out the door quickly which officially deprecated the GUI and defines the API features and gives 100% the W3C test results. Next target should be removal of the deprecated code and provision of a full API and command line tool at 0.10. Ross > > What do you think?
