Sorry for barging into your discussion, but I've always meant to ask.

How does Weber's electrodynamics compare to gauge-free "extended electrodynamics"? (pdf related)
Does the Weber potential entail it, or is it entailed by it, or are the incompatible?

I've seen on http://www.weberelectrodynamics.com/ that Weberists recognize the distinction between the Coulomb electrostatic and Faraday electrodynamic electric fields, which is fixed (actually irrelevant) in EED, but they also have some objections that I've never seen addressed elsewhere.

FWIW, Maxwell's equations in EED reduce to the wave equations for the potentials without complications, as the three fields are simply divided by type, pseudovector for magnetic, vector for electric, and scalar for, well, the scalar field, and since all the possible kinds of derivatives of the potentials are included, the irrelevant terms cancel out very easily.

EED predicts scalar waves, scalar-longitudinal waves like Tesla, and it is claimed that it explains the wires exploding phenomenon often cited for WED. They seem to overlap in predictions.
EED is also related to massive photons, which I know that interest some of you.
