Hello Philip,

the lib/div development is in an early alpha stage. You cannot rely on
anything in alpha state. It must be possible to change the API to the
needs with each new version. Otherwise the development of div would be
made very difficult.

So each extension must have a check under which div version it will run.
But this does not help if you have at least 2 extensions which need 2
different versions of div.
