Right, like Greasemonkey! Though, I would not load an external
Javascript interprter. More and more programs seem to implement the
SpiderMonkey engine of mozilla.org. Javascript is going to be more than
just HTML scripting in the near future.

Well, with the advent of Web2.0, the coming of XULRunner, webapps and so
on, it may be more than just "someone, somewhere". Of course, I agree:
Someone, somewhere must integrate it sometimes ;-)) (I am not the man
for this job. I'm just a user.)
