Additional remark: Of course, there are also constants that are important for programming (reducing typos, kinda substitute for enums, etc.). Those useful constants have been moved as static variables to corresponding classes. Well, maybe some of the constants that have been replaced by pure strings may be re-introduced as constants (see. qx.util.Mime) or class members. More powerful JavaScript/qooxdoo IDEs with autocompletion would certainly ease the use of such rather lengthy constants ... Regarding string optimization, all of that is handled automagically by the qooxdoo generator. Particularly IE6 users should see tremendeous speed improvements. I you haven't done so far, please turn on string optimization (already the default for "make build").
