No need for, the version number is back (I did nothing special to get it 
back). Maybe a problem with my installation, maybe I've lost too many 
neurons during the new year celebrations, I don't know. Sorry for this 
false alert, and sorry for the delay too...

Great!

No problem, it was just for simplicity, to avoid the management of two

What if the characters are encoded in say UTF-8? Before the correction 
of 
http://wmlbrowser.mozdev.org/tests/encodings/numeric-entity-references.wml
I tried to view its source, well, it was incomprehensible. I just 
discovered that Opera had a similar feature and it seems nice. That

Ouch, you still believe in Father Christmas? :) There are promises like

awaiting since a long time. Let's hope it will be implemented soon.
