Staying true to my words, the mod series for v1.3.6 stopped when 
v1.4 nighties become available for download. However, improvement 
doesn't stop there. Here are a couple of screenshots of what's to 
come.

 As you can tell, it has not yet been completed, but major 
components like file caching, file storage, events management, 
regexp search, and support for user scripting have already been 
implemented. The reason why there isn't more in the screenshots 
is because I still haven't decided whether I should: 1) wrap this 
around Sage v1.4 and implement as a mod; 2) make it a stand-
alone extension then attach Sage v1.4 through user scripting, or 
3) separate it from Sage completely and make its own 
XMLHttpRequest.
 
At the moment I'm still pondering whether the UI should be 
rewritten to limit access of user scripts, and will have to stay 
away from that final decision for a while. Regardless of the 
outcome, I would like to say that Sage is truly one of the finest 
examples of how extensions for Firefox should be written, and 
without it the learning curve for "chrome" beginners like myself 
would have been much, much steeper.

Many, many thanks to the Sage developers not only for the 
great rss reader, but also for the great learning tool.
