> Add this code after prototype.js =)

Thus far, this is the technique we've already been advocating, though
in considerably shorter form.  It's a stop-gap measure at best, and
brittle at worst.  However, my issue here is that while we're waiting
for a newer version of Prototype, more sites are deploying the current
version, and every time they do, that's one more site that's now
incompatible with some of our APIs.  Plus, there's not exactly an
auto-update feature for JavaScript libraries.  For every user that
contacts our support team (and hopefully, gets correctly diagnosed and
given a fix) there are ten more that give up before even talking to
support.  Of those ten users, most will assume the problem is Google's
fault, because the visible breakage happens in our code even though
the bug is Prototype's.  I'm happy to contribute patches or do
whatever you guys need to make this fix happen.
