There's a bunch of tribal knowledge among JS hackers of where we want the engine to go, but we just haven't quite yet taken it. Sometimes that info's useful/relevant to design of present-day patches or approaches. It would be useful to have that documented somewhere so that people are more on the same page, and don't have to rely on what luke or jorendorff or I say in passing about where things are headed. Also sometimes embedders want to have ideas about this stuff (see the js-engine thread I just sent mail to, for example). So here's the start of such a document:

Feel free to add other inchoate ideas you have here. I've also linked it off of https://wiki.mozilla.org/JavaScript:Home_Page for somewhat-easy discovery.
