cool =) please feel free to do so.

yes. they are protected because the engine itself is the only object that 
should be able to call them ... it sets the internal state of the engine.

the DataEngineScript should offer hooks from the DataEngine API into the 
script:

* init
* sourceRequested
* updateSource

and the script should have access to the various set* methods (update 
interval, data, etc)

the easiest way to go about this is probably to make DataEngineScript a friend 
class.

DataEngineScript could also be a DataEngine, but then we couldn't go 
the "DataEngine hides the script internally" as we do with Applet. i'd prefer 
to go the latter route both for consistency as well as because i think it 
offers greater flexibility down the road.

so.. friend class it is? =)
