the "shorter code" part is.. an understatement. I saw a bit of it. there are 
huge swaths of code that would be just *gone* after switching to qtscript.

wider availablility? well, given that kde depends on qt, kjs cannot have wider 
availability than qscript. as best they'd be equal - but as aaron explained, 
on mobile there's no room for multiple implementations of things. therefore qt 
has wider availability.

and... you say that higher performance is likely accurate.

so, I'm not seeing anything dubious here. o.0
