Although I compliment the time and effort that the team puts in to jQuery Mobile, it is obvious that it is not enough to sustain it. So I was wondering whether another route should not be taken, that simplifies the goals and therefor is more realistic to achieve.

I develop a healthcare and psychological test web application. A while ago, I used jQuery Mobile to create a nice look and feel, responsive, and with great looking page transitions.

Today I completed the work on removing jQuery Mobile from the code. The functionality and look and feel are like for like, with a few enhancements made possible because I now have more control over the result. The only thing missing are the page transitions. That would have been nice to have, but not essential.

So it made me wonder whether jQuery Mobile could not be changed in to 

a) a plugin for page transitions

b) (optional) a CSS library for supporting a jQuery Mobile look and feel for responsive web sites, with a theme roller

c) look what is left over, and judge whether it should go in to jQuery UI as separate components.

Is it at all feasible to separate out the page transitions? Something that replaces the functionality of 

1. $(":mobile-pagecontainer").pagecontainer("change", url, options);

and just loads the body of the next page in to the body of the current page? Or in to any element selected?

jQuery Mobile has been a great tool for me, and I learned a lot from the people on this forum, so big kudos to all of you.
