<div>+1 to including hooks to Sugar for frame-resident mini-apps.</div>
<div>+1 to making the frame clock optional (turned on from the clock activity - another reason to keep it an activity) and not the default option. If people want it, they will find it - vice versa is not as true.</div>
<div>+1 to a respect that there are vastly differing cultural views of time</div>
<div> </div>
<div>-1 to the idea that any other culture's view of time is so inherently fragile that it can be shattered by a simple digital clock. The percentage of people who have NOT seen a clock is ever-shrinking - I suspect it's a safe guess that many people reading this message may have grown up when that percentage was several times what it is now. I'll hazard another bet: the xo will NOT have any measurable impact on that trend. And another: many cultural views of time are in fact just as compatible with the clock as yours, even if you (naturally) think that yours is the logical result of the clock.

<div>-1 to the idea that we should deliberately leave out features in order to encourage kids to program. O, ye of little faith.</div>
