Solar is likely to *un*-adopt Prototype and Scriptaculous, at least  
as far as built-in helpers are concerned.  Clay and I talked about it  
at some length (I think Rodrigo and I did too), and it's easier/ 
better/faster to use the "native" JS calls than the PHP-based helpers  
that generate the JS.
