 ohohoh, one _very_ important factor to take into consideration, when thinking
about and formulating your answer:

 * how should the approach [in your recommendation] be _tested_ ?

 with the [empirical?] testing environment locked up [in a proprietary company,
intellectual property of yorba.com] which only adam had access to, how is
anyone supposed to move adam's work forward?

 at least pywebkitgtk is free software, as is pyjamas-desktop.

 behind pyjamas-desktop is a widget-set API based on DOM bindings to python. 
that widget set API is 8,000 lines of dedicated python.

 then, there are the examples themselves, comprising what is now about twenty
five examples at around... i guess... 10,000 lines of test code.

 so - in answering the question, _do_ take into consideration that if the way
forward that you recommend does _not_ involve using the current work, but
involves moving forward from adam's work, that you will be asking people to
work without a test suite, until such time as the work can be brought up to
standard.

 this is what i thought was obvious when we made an agreement, and i apologise
for not realising that you might not think that was so.

 i mention this to highlight why it might not be a good idea to assume that
things are obvious, and i look forward to your reply.
