Indeed, it doesn't.  That's why I said it's an extra 30
bytes compared to testing for document.images

I'm not, but that's still a neat idea.  The server-side

trailing white space as well as blank lines from generated
pages, so I don't need to worry about the impact on
download time of indentation in source files.
