Yes, that's correct. I recommend to start a new branch and
take over the correct parts from jhauser trunk. I implemented
some recommended changes but never finished it because I don't
know a way how we can support backward compatibility.

I can take time next week for working at the trunk and check 
Philipps Widget changes and help with the IFile refactoring.
I also like to move our i18n implementation wit local Negotiator
etc. to the trunk if it's Ok. I will add a i81n branch if I'm 
ready with this.

Whould be nice if somebody or you Jim can give me more advice about
the migration path for such a IFile refactoring.
