Hello Thomas, To be honest, I hesitated to produce the first release of gwtmodernizr without provide a deferred binding mechanism. I'm glad that you tackle the subject because I would like to have opinions about that. We are ok on the fact that hard permutation must not be used in order to avoid "permutation explosion" as you mentionned. But what is the added value to use soft permutation (i.e. a rebind decision at *runtime*) for a property with two possible values (i.e. supported or not) ? Is it just in terms of cleanest code (i.e using GWT.create()/ rebind rule instead of if/else branch)? Other thing : in gwtmodernizr, a lot of features are tested in the same way so I delegate the test in a method of the parent object to avoid to duplicate the code. Is it possible to do the same in <property-provider> ? I mean, is it possible to "share" javascript methods between different "<property-provider>" in order to avoid duplication of code ?
