Holy crap! The WebKit JS engine has matured by leaps and bounds since the last Safari release. I knew about XPath support, but not about getters/setters, direct access to DOM prototypes (which had been accessible in a convoluted manner), or XSLT. They claim it’s also 20-30% faster. I pray this stuff will make it into a Safari release that isn’t Leopard-only.
