One of the things that I didn't like about the VFE framework was code that 
would 
avoid an error like this:

IF <this will work>
   <do this>
ENDIF

Which often made debugging a problem much harder because I would get an error 
when something in a much different block of code relied on <do this> happening 
and then I would have to work backward trying to figure out why thing's weren't 
setup as I was expecting.

So now I see:

 > Revert back to revision 3088 until Ed can post a fix that only loads AUI
 > if it's available and/or if it is actually being used.

"only loads AUI if it's available" sounds vary similar to my VFE gripe.  I 
think 
I have seen some other "defensive coding" as I browse the dabo code, but I 
don't 
understand everything enough to know how similar it is.

So, do we really want the dabo framework to actively avoid throwing errors when 
something is wrong?
