Has anyone looked closely at this E4X ECMAScript stuff?

Robin Cover has a press release:
http://xml.coverpages.org/ECMAScript-XML.html

There's a blog with some info:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/2997

That blog points to this article:
http://dev2dev.bea.com/articles/JSchneider_XML.jsp

And I'm finding myself left pretty cold about this generally.  Maybe 
there's something more to it, but this looks pretty much like XPath Lite 
with ECMAScript object syntax.  Maybe that's what people want.  I can see 
an 80/20 there, though it strikes me funny that they used, well, 
JavaScript, a language I've been running away from for years.

No, I don't think this one's an April Fool.
