Backwards compatibility can be achieved: DBAL shows an example. In this 
case the core could use XML and non-core things would go through 
array-xml until everyone had cought up.

Published (extension: obts) - but better version to be released in 
coming month. Full documentation (with examples) also soon to be 
available. Works well with Templa Voila and other new ideas.

Also, there are published tools (obts_viewer or something) for seeing 
what obts is doing with your typoscript.

Also, in the latest release ObTS logs all rendering/ function calls etc 
to the admin panel.

Also, "clickable" debugging is done: click your webpage to see what the 
tyyposcript looks like!

... but the version on my laptop is even better...!

No: dan-months! (They vary from 3 hrs in an evening to 453 years!)
