Marcus -

This is the current ticket that I'm tracking on the issue:
http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/2721

I currently have it on the 1.4 roadmap -  but if you already have a
patch, I would love to see it (please attach it to the above ticket,
as well) - perhaps we can get something landed sooner, rather than
later.
