Relationship between sXBL and XBL 2.0

I just saw the last call working draft for XBL 2.0 on the
W3C site. 
What's the relationship between sXBL and XBL 2.0 ? Is sXBL
really a 
subset of XBL 2.0, or are there any subtle differences
between sXBL and 
XBL 2.0 ?

And if sXBL is really a subset of SBL 2.0, will the actual
sXBL 
specification be dropped in favour of the more general XBL
2.0 ?

It’s not quite syntactically a subset, but functionally
sXBL is pretty
much a subset of XBL 2.0 I think.  I do get the impression
that sXBL
will be dropped in favor of something more general like XBL
2.0.  I’m
loathe to make decision either way with Batik—I’ll just
wait to see what
SVG 1.2 Full say, when it is back on the WG’s radar.

I asked W3C Web application format WG about sXBL vs XBL 2.0
future (see 
the thread here 
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/p
ublic-appformats/2006Sep/0092.html>). 
As you said, it seems that there is a high probability that
sXBL will be 
dropped in favour of XBL 2.0 (as the second is more general
if different 
in subtle ways, even the sXBL chapters titles are present on
XBL 2.0 
working draft...). But nothing seems to be decided yet...
