I take that as a good sign :)

I find they worked quite well in the Resource Browser. Maybe the presentation 
could still be optimized (making them look and behave a bit more like physical 
bookmarks), but I think even in their current state they can be used as an 
optional element for when not everything fits on the drawer (as in the Resource 
Browser).

No need to hurry, I just hope the components will be ready by the time add-on 
development by third parties really kicks in. I'd like to see the drawers in 
many apps, and for that they need to be as easy to implement as possible.
The same applies to the other components/widgets you created for PA, of 
course. But hey, I'm preaching to the choir here anyway, so there's probably 
no need to further stress that ;)
