Again, ditto PJB - just making sure the Twitter devs don't think PJB is alone in this. I'm sure Dewald and many other developers, including those unaware of this (is it even on the status blog?) agree. I'm also seeing similar results to PJB in my benchmarks. cursor-less is much, much faster. At

I think the OWF agreement is an excellent idea - I'd love to see Twitter join in that agreement with its developers. If Twitter has concerns with it I'd love to see them get involved in the OWF discussions and perhaps the agreement could be modified to meet Twitter's needs. Why reinvent the wheel
