I agree that folks have been talking about JS for a long time, and that it's
frustrating, but what I'm suggesting is that we need to tackle a different
problem first.

This isn't an academic question - without knowing how the DOM is going to
work (or even if there is one), the JS conversation can't be anything but
theoretical (or, at best, very incomplete in the concrete).

I'm just trying to see if any work was already going on in this space, or if
there was any interest in a team effort to attempt it.
