Fritz,

If you feel so strongly about it, this is what open source is all about:
make a package called Seaside-OldSchool and add things like
WARenderCanvas>>a and WARenderCanvas>>ul. I've done a ton of HTML before
Seaside as well and didn't really have any issues transitioning, because
expanded names actually make more sense in many cases (#a vs #anchor)
and are a lot more consistent (#url vs #href:/#src:).

Regards,

-Boris

Stephan, I don't get your comment. 
What I meant, was that I have programmed web pages since 1992; pretty
close to its invention in 1990. It is most natural for me to jot a site
in vim and be done with it and make it Web2.0 with jQuery is most
natural. 
Seaside offers a new language to generate html; and I was inquiring as
to whether 'old' users would just be more confused with the two ways to
generate html. 
Now, in Seaside we can 'say jQuery in Seaside' - but not quite, as when
importing html in a jQuery AJAX load action.

Thanks
