'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)
