</span>I have been interested in this issue myself and have the beginning of a<br>
proposal on how we might be able to do this reasonably painlessly here<br>
[1]. At one point I had the beginnings of a proper Wiki page describing<br>
the proposal but sadly Trac/Firefox ate it and I've not had the time to<br>
attempt a rewrite.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
