A series of images was released recently, indicating some interesting changes to tool repairs in the future update. Aside from the standard repair type, it is suggested that combining two different enchanted tools might produce a new tool, carrying the benefits of both:
The days of having numerous tools with a single, useful enchantment may be drawing to a close - while the option to keep numerous enchanted tools remains an option - one common example being, having a separate Silk Touch pickax from the standard ones - the ability to take two tools and make one vastly better one remains a very appealing option for those looking to save on space, or just boost their arsenal of mining, hunting and farming capabilities.
Keep an ear to the ground, as we bring you more updates on these changes.

No. The way this will work is that you can combine different enchantments on the same type and material tools. So you can combine a sharpness IV sword with a looting III sword. However, conflicting enchantments such as smite and sharpness, you will only get the enchantment of the tool you put in the first slot. So if I put sharpness in the first slot and smite in the slot after the + sign, I will get sharpness and smite will get deleted.
If you try to combine two of the same enchantments, the lower level one will be deleted and the higher level one will be unchanged. So combining a fire aspect II sword with another fire aspect II sword will give you 1 fire aspect II sword. A waste really.
move, stupid inventory screen!
Because if they combine all the diffrent stuff, because sharpness level 1 and fire aspect level 1 on a diamond sword is insanely rare, now all the player has to do is combine them, not try and get like 10 crap level 30 enchants, just use 2-3 and get some good stuff.

I'd like to extend the repair idea, as keeping all the enchantments is a bit OP:
Examples:
E.g.
[quote]Flame I & Punch I + Power IV and Infinity ----> Flame 1, Punch I, Power IV [quote]
if appropriate credit is given.
Nope, I've had a Bow with looting an admin lent me once, I did get much more than a Looting III bow would have gotten.
Also, do they talk about transferring enchants from different swords. Like from wooden to diamond?
As I said you need a mod or plugin to get those enchantments to work. The vanilla does not supports those or you could enchant those with an enchantment table or the anvil.
Also, after 1.4 could you guys focus more on Mod API?
