If you mean the AS package for the classes in these SWCs, I have to admit
I was a bit surprised to see in the AS output example that Document in a
“dom” package.  I would think these two SWCs would not have their classes
in any AS package (IOW, “package {“).  Aren’t classes like Document
effectively global just like Math?

Rhino 1.74 or later is MPL.  If we don’t need an earlier version then yes
we can download it and Qdox (which is AL).  Just check in code that uses
these jars (but not the jars) and I’ll get the build scripts to download
them.

IMO, yes.  But we might bundle them in the source release package.

I guess that’s ok with me.  Why do you not want to introduce new metadata
keywords and/or use asdoc similar to how goog is using jsdoc?  I’d worry
about a JavaScript metadata statement getting longer and longer as we add
more attributes to it.  Having each attribute be a keyword or asdoc/jsdoc
tag seems like it would be more manageable?
