Hi Ben,
I agree; I looked at the patch and it seems quite straightforward. I'd
rather avoid patching Trac, though. It's not that I fear breakage.
It's because my time on this project is limited and I'm afraid that
(despite documentation) when I leave our Trac install will be regarded
as "something that Philip had to hack, better not touch it". This is,
of course, an institutional problem, not a Trac problem, but it's a
problem I have to consider nonetheless.

Good advice.

Thanks
Philip
