And currently it's on the Darwin site and it's pretty obvious that they
have been busy making it work for Safari and haven't yet put in the
effort or documentation to make it easily usable as a framework. I
wouldn't think that they'd really commit to docs on how to use it or
even a clear clean API until they are satisfied with how it all goes
together. I'd give it a while before it's really ready for the "rest of
us" to use.
Not that people shouldn't try to figure things out right now, it's
pretty cool... But it's most likely going to be fluid for a while.
