I was visiting my parents and afk, but I am back now and excited by the 
latest.

Yeah.

Interesting.  What is the MIT code?  Is it like a CSS spec?

Exactly!!  I am glad you went there because now we both have our bearings 
in the same stuff.  I completely agree about things getting clobbered 
later, creating the suggestion at jdb-time that it isn't working.  I 
labored under this misapprehension for a while and wasted time before 
figuring this out.  So as a workaround, I said wget 
http://acid3.acidtests.org, save it locally 
as index.html or another name, and then add alerts in the "test 0" code so 
that you can get your feedback from when it actually runs and not from 
jdb, later.

Ah, is that right!  So this is where we came in.  You mentioned this a 
couple days ago and that was when I brought up the CSS components.  So now 
we are really getting down to the problem.  Amazing how much they pack 
into test zero.

Woo!  I am literally doing a little dance every day about new edbrowse.

In honor of the fact that we are working on these Stylistic issues, the 
official soundtrack of edbrowse-dev, for a while at least, will be 
"Betcha By Golly Wow" by The Stylistics.
