Hi Rob,

Tom (cc'ed) & I presented "Proxies: Design Principles for Robust
Object-oriented Intercession APIs" <
http://research.google.com/pubs/archive/36574.pdf> at DLS2010, the Dynamic
Languages Symposium. I think it's the best place to start.

The precise Proxies spec is evolving and is being maintained at
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:proxies
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:proxies_semantics
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:proxy_defaulthandler

Thanks to the efforts of Andreas Gal (cc'ed), Brendan Eich (cc'ed), and
others at Mozilla, all of this already works in the Firefox 4 beta and will
shortly be shipping, along with all of ES5/strict, in the first FF4 release.
