A few more comments. There's a new version of the GData JS API (1.10) which is a little larger - luckily i should be able to point the code generator to the new docs and be up to speed. Also, i had a closer look at the Java, Python and .NET versions and they're all very out of sync with eachother.
The JS version seems to be the more extensive version (comparing for example the number of classes within the Calendar namespace), even though it's still missing a few namespaces, which tells me that it is perhaps more active than the others. So the best i can do is try to keep the GWT version as close to the JS version as possible and completely ignore the Java version, which is quite different at this point.
