Maybe you can support a closure-compiled version of jQuery while 1.4 is out.

It's much smaller than the yuicompressor compressed version.

• yuicompressor -> 92583 bytes
• closure(simple) -> 67370 bytes
• closure(advanced) -> 61458 bytes

And, while using closure-compiler. There are 3 warning messages:

jquery-1.4a2.js:2467: WARNING - Suspicious code. This code lacks side-effects. Is there a bug? elem.parentNode.selectedIndex; ^

>

jquery-1.4a2.js:3536: WARNING - Suspicious code. This code lacks side-effects. Is there a bug? if ( name === "selected" && elem.parentNode ) { ^

>

jquery-1.4a2.js:3537: WARNING - Suspicious code. This code lacks side-effects. Is there a bug? elem.parentNode.selectedIndex; ^

0 error(s), 3 warning(s)

Maybe you can take a look at these codes before release
