Is there any intent to do a final release of 1.3, or will it continue to

Presumably, Chris's modularization model will be preserved?

Probably agreed.  What did you have in mind as potential replacements?

I am one who routinely fights for non-js interfaces to be preserved.  I 
work in enough odd platforms, and support users who also do, that having 
graceful degradation is a 100%, app becomes useless without it, 
requirement.
By the same token, of course, for standard browsers, a much more friendly 
UI would be welcome.

I would go as far as saying that the web interface should also be modular 
to permit this.  Of course, that would require that no key functions be 
implemented *only* in the UI.
