The xwt.lib.abstract namespace was there to provide skeletal code for the major widgets / -ables in the event that a theme would require uncommon keybindings / -able-integration. Nitrogen now gives the option to provide a reference to a trap, so it can be removed from outside the scope of a template. This means that any of the behaviour that might differ on a few rare platforms can be referenced and removed if needed. This leaves no compelling reason to keep xwt.lib.abstract as a namespace for the separation of lib code on singular templates. If it is desirable to separate the widget lib code and the -ables then we could have the -ables in xwt.lib.abstract, although that's not something I particularly care for. So, unless somebody objects, all xwt.lib.* and xwt.lib.abstract.* files are being merged and xwt.lib.abstract.* is going. This is something that David and Adam both wanted originally anyway, so it further unifies the direction in which we all want the widgets to go. - Charlie
