In production you use a single-file packed distribution or individually include specific files. MochiKit.js is a convenience, all it does is dynamically and synchronously load MochiKit.

Does MochiKit work in "real" XHTML (XHTML served as "application/xhtml+xml")? The only mention I was able to find was <blockquote># Better XHTML compatibility (removed obvious cases where uppercase tagName or nodeName was assumed)</blockquote> which is, shall we say, not exactly confidence-inspiring. Has it been tested with Mozilla/Opera/Safari under application/xhtml+xml ? What works, and what doesn't? Sorry if this is only peripherally on-topic.

The only mention I was able to find was

# Better XHTML compatibility (removed obvious cases where uppercase tagName or nodeName was assumed)

which is, shall we say, not exactly confidence-inspiring.

Has it been tested with Mozilla/Opera/Safari under application/xhtml+xml ? What works, and what doesn’t?
