You are right in priciple... but the idea was to have the system (in
3.9) not depend on a new Browser to be usefull. The only part were I
see a problem with
this is when someone starts changing Behavior: You just don't have
enough information with the old non-Traits browser. I don't want to
make the old
Browser completely a Traits enabled tool, but having just a little
bit more information shown when looking at traits classes would help
a lot, I think.
