I still consider any Javascript solution that needs a lot of inline event
calls and extraneous markup useless. The idea is to kee our HTML separated
from our CSS and our JS.

needs none of that. It can easily be extended for clickable links and
allows you to change the obfuscation from time to time or even from email
to email (by adding to the regexp)
