Does Quanta "integrate" like .NET's IDE?  It seems to do classes and have a 
big library behind it.  For instance version 3.2, looking at a "a href" tag 
on one of my lame static pages pulls up all sorts of attributes that are not 
there.  They are presented in a separate frame as a collapsible tree.  These 
include name, coords, charset on blur and others.  It also lists "Script" 
stuff that is not there either, onkeyup, onmouse down and so on.  I imagine 
that this framework can be extended to Perl, Mono or anything else but have 
no clue.  

A little digging reveals:

Also, is it true that M$ has patents on all sorts of trivial .NET methods?
