LOL - perhaps - but its an important point which I perhaps did not make 
entirely clear - my bad!

My intent was never to suggest that every developer would have to hack 
their own together in every individual case... More that is gives us the 
opportunity to write an engine-level 'script library' in LCS which 
provides the functionality.

We have quite a rich extension system these days - and even before that 
liburl was embedded as essentially an engine feature, written in LCS 
because of the way it was handled in the IDE and Standalone Builder.

Basically these lower-level platform specific operations can be used to 
create a mobile handler script library, which would be a script-library 
in the open source repository - which can contain the cross-platform 
'mobile' implementations.

It makes it visible, accessible and something which is much easier for 
people to contribute to - or copy, rename and modify as they need to for 
their specific project.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
