You use Prototype on your iPhone sites? I’ve tried to avoid using libraries on mobile sites as they add a fair chunk of download and processing overhead.

Actually, it’d be nice to see a Webkit specific (or at least modern browser specific) JS library that dumps IE workarounds and fallback DOM selection routines; leaves us with syntactic sugar for QuerySelector and XMLHTTPRequest, and an animation library.

Most of the code in jQuery is not to work around IE, it's for features you actually want. So I doubt this would buy you much savings, especially when gzipped.
