The price for ocaml compatility and for (relative) simplicity.
Code mobility may be added later...

No, JoCaml is a modified OCaml system, besides parsing, typing
is different and we added a pattern matching feature that
must take place inside the compiler.

We hope so, and this should be quite simple.
At the moment JoCaml is a branch in OCaml cvs trunk. Synchronization
at release time is quite easy. This enable compatibility at the source
level almost for free.

Compatibility at the binary level apparently works.

You are correct.
