I like the idea of opening an umbrella issue for "user requests for
5.0 release". Howard and crew will be able to record their decisions
on why each item will get in or be deferred.
I completely agree with your first 5 choices. The 6th one (TAP5-257)
I do not have an opinion on.
I would add one more -
"ApplicationStateObject is a misleading term"
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-2703
because once 5.0 is released it will be too late to change. The
concept will be baked in.

Ok, so we reach the point where T5.0 final is imminent, and we are
all (I think) really happy of that.
As we also want that T5 really makes its way in the Java Web
ecosystem, I think it always miss some really little things that are
really important for a .0 release.
I purpose to start this discussion in the ml, and when some major
gap emerge, to post them in the issue tracker, and vote for them.
So, for me, what I expect for 5.0 :
1/ - full and complete and rather simple internationalization : I
really believe that a web framework can ignore other language and
culture (date, number) today ;
that include validator translation and stuff like that.
2/ - valid XHTML, even for IE, by default. The workaround is here
for some time, but why it's not default ? See http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5HowToXhtml
3/ - something around AJAX documentation and Zone update inside a
form (that includes update of part of a form on change from a
select : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-138)
4/- a property symbol provider, also simple and in use almost always
@see http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5HowToReadSymbolsFromPropertiesFile
Without 1, T5 just can't get is path easely outside English
contries ; Without 2, T5 can hardly be considered top-level (even if
on the technical point of vue, it's completly rigth and it's IE
fault), without 3, AJAX seems not so well integrated, and it's hot
stuff todays, and 4 is so much common in a application, why do we
have to bother with that each time ?
Other simple stuff that should be corrected before 5.0 (in my
opinion) :
- why hidden field is still missing ? It's so easy to add, a new
user should not even have to search for that !
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-257, that seems to
bring other pb with decorator and the like ;
What do you thing about that ? Does it make sense to open a
"community want that" bug, that have to be quick to handle, but that
brings the attention of T5 developers on what we need ? Perhaps we
can already vote for existing bugs ? Which ones ?
