I wasn't around for the writing of the charter, but my own opinion is: 1) E4X is not a w3c spec, it is not up to us to extend it 2) E4X is not really usable for access to a live document tree, it's more for processing of XML as data 3) our goal is to focus as much as possible on compatibility instead of inventing new features from whole cloth Regards, Maciej
