During his OSCON 2007 talk, Steve does say that "NBL" is JavaScript 2. Watch http://blip.tv/file/319044/ around the 24:40m mark. Then again, I don't know what's his opinion at press-time.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. smokescreen "exists" too - http://smokescreen.us/demos/js/smokescreen.0.1.3-min.js
