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Well, maybe some of the constants that have been replaced by pure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").

Bye,

Andreas
