Hi, I work on the project full time so maybe I can address this directly. Sencha uses a javascript scroller to provide the fixed headers and footers. There are two very important reasons the jQuery Mobile project is avoiding this implementation: 1. It doesn't feel native. Sencha has done an enormous amount of work to make sure that the scrolling is efficient and they deserve a lot of credit for their hard work but the physics are different for every platform. 2. To implement scrolling regions on Android you have to `return false` on `touchstart` which breaks the use of form elements in the scrolling region. We, as a project, all agree that's not acceptable.
