However, when it comes to deploying, I think if we deployed the controller first and see what kind of feedback we get from library developers down the line and use that to further influence the development of the declarative model we'll yield better results. There are many hard problems to solve, some of which come down to heuristics, and it seems like letting hundreds of developers experiment rather than a couple of browser implementers will lead to better results down the line. Having said, what we need to resolve for both, and I think is one of the trickier bits, is the life cycle. How is it added, when does it go into effect, when and how is it replaced, etc. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
