Thanks to everyone who's added their thoughts.

Josef and Simon point out that Dojo is big and not very fast, and I  
have to agree. Dag Sverre is right that you can pick and choose your  
packages but the requirements for just a few widgets can be  
substantial. Dag Sverre also pointed out that Dojo widgets can be  
used for a Mozile GUI without much integration, which I'd been  
considering as well since the 0.8 GUI code is designed to be modular.  
Reinventing the wheel is never fun.

I hadn't fully considered the Mozile extension until Lars brought it  
up. It would be possible to include Dojo in an extension at the cost  
of some complexity.

Thanks again for the comments. I'd like to leave the discussion open  
for a few more days so we can hear some more opinions.

James
