On the Rhino side, I have been working to make changes needed by
HTMLUnit and thus remove the need for a continuation of the fork. In
particular, I want to allow for pluggable Map classes to implement
JavaScript objects, which would allow for HTMLUnit to choose slower,
browser-compatible behavior while others can choose faster behavior. I
know I've been a bit slow in getting these things done and appreciate
the need for HTMLUnit to have a place to make their changes quickly.
Thanks,
Norris
