Explosions

[Colin Clark]

Hi all,

I'm coming into this quite late and without having had time to look at 
any of the code. My comments are below.

 From my testing, this was a bug in FireFox 1.5. It worked fine for me 
in FireFox 2.0.

A question for the Dojo folks: I've been trying to find a list of 
supported browsers for the 0.9 release. Does such a thing exist, and if 
so can you point me to the right place?

Can you clarify what you mean by "swappage" vs. "slippage" here?

I can't wait to see persistence in action!
