I have chatted to Schimmi also about this today, and all in all it seems a watertight idea. It seems it has its good and bad points: Good: - Lets us put unknown DOM objects (such as PHP, JavaScript etc) into a tree without a huge workaround. - May make Kafka clearer to code. Bad: - Could possibly slow Kafka down due to the extra level of processing. When I last spoke to Schimmi he told me he was going to speak it over with Lars Knoll. There *may* be an opportunity to put some of this functionality into KHTML which would certainly make WYSIWYG web editing functionality much more accessable to other programs. Schimmi, could you post to the list a response to what Lars has said. Schimmi said to me he should be able to post a detailed description of his idea to the list around Friday. I look forward to reading his words. :-) Jono -------------------------------------- Jono Bacon - [vmlinuz] -- jono@kde.org KDE/Qt Developer - Founder of Linux UK -------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Kde-kafka mailing list Kde-kafka@master.kde.org http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-kafka
