What would reasonable would be to update htmlarea to xinha, but not 
asking them to fix their well-written stuff because some other JS 
library tweaks the standard classes.

Using Scriptaculous for a particular project is fine, but shipping it 
with Cocoon if IMO definitely not something to do, as we cannot make any 
assumption on what 3rd party JS libraries users will want to use in 
their projects.

And interestingly, it looks like Tacos [1] (an Ajax extension to 
Tapestry) went the same route, as they started with Scriptaculous and 
recently announced their switch to Dojo.
