Valija? What's that? (Sorry, I've not been following Caja development
closely. All of my understanding comes from the June version of the spec
document which I've not read now since.. June.)

Is there a more up-to-date document to which I can refer to make sense
of the above?

I thought that Cajita was a subset of everything else. How, then, would
I not get the benefits of it? Is this Valija thing not a superset of
Cajita or am I misreading "benefits" above?
