@Daniel, agreed; I'm really starting to like Github, and Git generally! @Valentino, E4X was actually the inspiration for literalHTML... @Corey, I considered using eval but I thought it better to execute the script in a global context; after all, that's how the :literalHTML scripts are defined. Also $.globalEval uses a much more harmless method of execution - it simply injects a new script element containing the code to be evaluated. To be honest I would feel perfectly comfortable using eval or (new Function())() but I thought I should take advantage of what jQuery had to offer.

I noticed in the literalHTML code you’re using $.globalEval(). I can’t seem to find any documentation about it. What’s the advantage of using it instead of eval()?

I like literalHTML.. it could be the starting point to implement E4X crossbrowser.. why not?
