strategy. Code size isn't a terribly big deal -- the thing the Squeak
community is most constrained by is programmer time. How often does
someone post about a really neat idea they have.... but that they don't
have time to program? I'd much rather see SuperSwiki get connected to
Jabber, for example, than see a custom XML library. :)
Besides, it would seem reasonable to at least *try* to divide the VW
parser into subsets, so that you can load whichever parts you need.
