I've been using jQuery for about a year, but this is the first I've heard of livequery. I found it today because I ran into an obstacle in an application I'm developing for the first time that it solves nicely; now I expect to use it frequently (though I don't do much AJAX, admittedly). I think if it came down to a vote, this seems central enough to me to warrant including in the core, though I'm sure there are many other folks who think many hundreds of other plug-ins are likewise good candidates. Is adoption rate the principal consideration for inclusion? Seems the best resolution is to decide on clear criteria... I suppose as long as it's possible to do this via 'bind' with the core -- even if inelegant -- it may be wiser to leave it as a plugin, the better to preserve jQuery's "leanness". That's a more important consideration, by far, and one of the reasons I bailed from both Prototype and Mootools... Cheers, Nathan
