Hi team,
Several months later, it's done (the vote started on 14-06-2004).
cocoon.request, cocoon.response, cocoon.context and cocoon.session 
are now unrestricted.

The only difference with the real objects is that a special wrapper 
is used for request, response and context that shows their respective 
attributes are JS properties (not sure I personally like it, but 
that's how they have been since the beginning).

This closes a lot of open bugs ;-)
Great! Why do we need this special wrapper?

Because removing it means a backwards incompatible change!
It adds small syntactic sugar by allowing you to write 
'cocoon.session.blah' instead of 'cocoon.session.getAttribute("blah")' 
and the same on request and context.

I personally didn't knew about it until today and therefore never used it...
