2. There's no formal definition of Carbon, so we have no idea

Actually, people who have been reading these threads faithfully do
have an idea. ;-)
Some idea, but not the whole idea, and there's no official list AFAIK.
Deric Horn clarified this and said that for the purposes of 64-bit
support, "Carbon" referred to HIToolbox. So the Window Manager,
HIView, and the Menu Manager are out, but Carbon Events, the File
Manager and pretty much anything not related to the UI is in.
Basically, anything a Cocoa application might use will get 64-bit
support. Anything that's limited to Carbon applications won't.
That's pretty much translates into the UI technologies.
I must have missed that posting... I recall Eric's posting about the
Menu Manager... I think he even mentioned HIToolbox so I would
imagine Window Manager... I wasn't sure about the View system since
I thought the API's mirror with Cocoa well (but how much do I know
about Cocoa, right?)...
Off top my head (at 12:00 am), what good is a 64-bit Carbon Event if
you can't write a 64-bit HIToolbox GUI? I guess part of Cocoa uses
Carbon Events?
