The goal is to only have a single permutation? I thought the multiple permutation system of GWT was only good (though admittedly I have been burned by IE9 and 10). Isn't it preferable to not send -moz-linear-gradient(...) to Chrome and -webkit-linear-gradient(...) to Firefox? (Same with mozIndexedDB vs webkitIndexedDB.) I thought this made the code smaller and better tailored than the "this or this or this" style of coding. Also, assuming I go this route, how do I tell GWT to just do one permutation without UA concerns? I've been working on an app that I was originally only targeting webkit for (thus <set-property name="user.agent" value="safari"/>), but nothing in it should necessarily have broken in Firefox (besides the WebSQL stuff). So I decided to point Firefox to it, and immediately got an alert saying Firefox wasn't supported, despite the app working well enough. Obviously it was easy to fix by adding gecko1_8 to set-property, but how do I create the one permutation to rule them all that doesn't complain? > Again I'm not questioning Elemental utility greatness, but so far it looks >> to be much more important to GWT "internally" than to the rest of us, mere >> GWT consumers. >> > > Everyone has different needs. > I'm very happy to be able to use Elementals to use a new Web API without having to hand-generate the overlays myself.
