'Scuse me if I butt in here:
I gotta say that I'm opposed to this new feature. I don't see that it
adds a lot of value to the user experience, but I do see that it adds a
lot of extra complexity to the code. Furthermore, this is the type of
feature that is very difficult to get to work right across browsers and
OS's.
FWIW, I do think that it's very cool as a programming excersize, which
is a major part of being an evoltian, but it shouldn't be given a chance
to interfere with evolt's other missions, such as providing a reliable
resource to the community.
Here's an example of what can happen:

Notice the text in the second comment.
Now, this was taken from win2k/moz 0.9.1, and I realize that this is a
minority browser that hasn't even achieved 1.0 release yet, and I also
realize that the script may not be completely finished, but I do think
that this is indicative of the kinds of things that can happen.
Anyway, that's my two cents - I hope you will weigh it accordingly (I
heard on npr this morning that a penny weighs about 2.5 grams, if that
helps)
