Sure. (damn! ;-) )

I guess I didn't express myself quite clearly enough. Indeed the new EM 
is not really a help, in the sense that it reuses old part which forces 
it to do rather ugly things.

However - as you also mention - the fact that it's built very much to 
work with AJAX calls (ExtDirect) means that every call could be rebuilt, 
one by one, until we have - eventually - something clean. Officially 
getting rid of the old EM just means that at least we don't need to care 
if something breaks on that side.

Cheers
