I don't believe the suggestion was to port TT, function by function, as
much as to create something akin to TT in JS.

You seem to be focussing on one particular aspect of TT (which no-one
other than you has been suggesting that this mythical TT-JS would even
have), and extrapolating from that that the whole idea is flawed. (Just
as no-one is suggesting that this TT-JS would use EVAL_PERL either ...)

I believe that's pretty much what we were talking about, except with
avoiding the XML part.
