I am for supporting ActiveX. This is not against developing 
cross-platform, rather it's precisely for it. Some of the support for 
ActiveX could be invisible to us and handle things on Windows that 
are handled different ways on other platforms; other support could be 
specific to ActiveX capabilities.

So I think it would be a good thing, and open up a lot of 
possibilities. But whether there is time to do it and it should be 
prioritized over other features is another question. Not sure....
