You misread. It will work under 1.5 but only if we package an additional 
MB of libraries. Apart from a slightly higher download time and memory 
footprint you wouldn't notice.

But while we're at it, give us some reasons why we need to remain 1.5 
compatible. I'm not in a hurry to switch to 1.6 but we'll do it at 
*some* point and I am interested in finding out what that point is going 
to be.

Bye
Frederik
