[Edbrowse-dev] css on demand

Yeah, too bad some of it was wasted.   :)
You know the mantra, "A moment of thought is worth a megabyte of programming."
I slightly forgot that, just because I like to program.
I implemented hashing by nodes, hashing by class name, optimizations for certain chains, blah blah blah,
and then I realized I didn't need any of that if I was gathering css elements on demand,
and then I realized I couldn't support it anyways, if querySelectorAll is dynamic,
if it is suppose to query the document tree as it stands right now,
and nodes are always changing, with new nodes added,
so a snapshot cache we build at the start isn't really going to help,
and maintaining that cache as each new node is added etc is rather prohibitive,
so anyways that was 200 tricky lines of code that I wrote, then threw away within 24 hours,
but other than that, you know,
the other 750 lines are good, and represent real progress.
I'm about to delete the jotform stuff, cause I'm pretty sure we're not gonna use it,
and as others have pointed out in this list, if we change our mind it's all in git.
