Hi Thomas,

Can you tell me in what areas you were looking for the the low impact
fixes.

Maybe I can try it on my own for my current implementation.

Thanks,
Praveen

   I think this is a bug.  The basic problem is our implementation of
the 'default action' (the traversal of the link).  We implement the
traversal of the link as an event listener, so you need to call
'preventDefault' before our click event handler on the 'a' element is
fired.  However reading the DOM 2 Events spec:

  preventDefault
If an event is cancelable, the preventDefault method is used to signify
that the event is to be canceled, meaning any default action normally
taken by the implementation as a result of the event will not occur. If,
during any stage of event flow, the preventDefault method is called the
event is canceled. Any default action associated with the event will not
occur. Calling this method for a non-cancelable event has no effect.
Once preventDefault has been called it will remain in 

effect throughout the remainder of the event's propagation. This method
may be used during any stage of event flow.

soon?


    I can think of one or two "low impact" ways to fix this, but I don't
think this will happen before the next release.
