Re: MathML and HTML Forms "Modules"

["Eve L. Maler" <elm@east.sun.com>]

Why put in hooks, when any customization layer that uses them is still a 
customization layer?  That is, you don't strictly *need* the new hooks to 
add these things as a customization layer, and if we add them to the 
official version, then we don't need the hooks anyway.

(That said, I kind of like the *.hook suffix. :-)
