We're not using Prototype exclusively, but there are a few key functions
we take advantage of. For example, Prototype helps us evaluate
JavaScript separately from HTML (necessary to render on IE). Although we
are using Dojo's inheritance, it does not provide everything we need in
a JavaScript library. In fact, they have taken away some key features in
.9 and I'm scrambling to replace them. That said, even if Woodstock
abandoned Prototype, it is still used by JSF Extensions for Ajax support.
