Rey Bango indicated that a mobile-optimized version of jQuery is "on the radar" of the development team. I'd be interested in contributing to efforts in that direction. I've been doing a lot of WebKit-specific mobile development lately and it seems to me it ought to be possible to offer a version that works on WebKit, Fennec, and Opera that is vastly smaller than the full jQuery implementation.
E.g., would it not be possible to eliminate the entire Sizzle engine (as tight as that code is) by leveraging document.querySelector and document.querySelectorAll? Another example on a smaller scale is Ajax. There is no need to branch looking for ActiveX in IE in the browsers mentioned. FWIW, I'm not as concerned about speed optimizations as I am about just reducing the size of the codebase. Some of us live in countries where mobile data is exorbitantly priced! ;-) Is there an official effort to create such a library? If not, is there any restriction on someone like me implementing a clone of the jQuery library focused solely on particular browsers?
