OK, so you've done 1, 6 and a part of 7.  I've done 4 & 5.  I'm thinking
we can punt 3 for now, and leave it for 3.2.0b<something>, because I
don't have time to work on it, and with the proper handling of <script>
and <style> tags in HTML.cc it's probably not that necessary anymore
to enhance noindex_start.  So, I think all that's missing now is 2,
the rest of 7, and maybe a sample whatsnew.html search form that shows
how to use 4 & 5.

I e-mailed Alexander twice, and not a peep, so I think we'll leave this
file as it is.  I don't have time to complete the audit.  I'll try to get
the whatsnew.html form done tomorrow, and leave 2 & 7 in Geoff's hands.

I'd appreciate as many testers as possible for the new 3.1.6 code.
I hope this coming Sunday the snapshot will actually work - it seems as
though nothing happened this past Sunday.
