I’m all for standardizing JSX, but I think we should be clear that its only similarity to E4X is syntax. The latter corresponds directly to the browser/HTML/XML DOM, whereas the former corresponds to nothing in particular except the semantics you might give it. I’d also be interested in a revival of E4X as a potential implementation of standardized JSX, but I’d be disappointed (and I think many JSX users would be too) if the standardization coupled the two completely.
