We gained X, but lost OSA and menu sharing (and some stability). Boolean
object specifiers, I don't know, if they work. I don't use Frontier much
for IAC any more, but I miss it dearly.

When you look out (to the internet), it can happen that you forget about
looking in (local IAC). But the real power comes from using both,
Frontier sitting at the junction point. If menusharing would come back,
and maybe we could even use nib interfaces and the glues do their thing,
it would be like getting half a universe back.
