[Mozile] Mozile and Dojo

So - my two cents. I suppose many "web pros" would like that Mozile went 
into a framework.

But I first became interested in it because of it was a 
plug-in/extension to Firefox. And it because it needed (seemingly) very 
little - other than CSS - for the implementors. It was also more of real 
editor. (My impression always were that the other web browser editors 
required you to mark-up you page in a special way - that you could only 
make forms editable - remember htmlAREA.) And, when the bugs was ironed 
out, it was an editor with which one could _write_ HTML and  X(ht)ML in 
a structured and meaningfull WYSWYG way.

If it becomes part of Dojo, then - unless the inclusion of Mozile would 
make Dojo very much more attractive than it allready is - then Mozile 
would become 'burried' i the Dojo 'dough' ... and few would find it or 
discover it.

However, a good place to show-off Mozile has been searched for. Perhaps 
Dojo would be such a place?

I would find it a pity if Mozile disappeard as the simple tool it tries 
to be ... If you would get the opportunity to work paid on Mozile, then 
Mozile would benefit, I suppose. So - for may reasons, I think we would 
understand and accept if you took it to Dojo.

And perhaps the stand-alone-ability allready is (best) served with the 
0.6 series of Mozile?

All the best, and hope i did not step on any toes.
