Hi guys,

It's been ages since we did anything with DQSD, and I realise it's partly my
fault.

Life seems a little less busy for me now, though, so it'd be nice if we
could get this thing moving again.

As far as I remember there are only two open issues:

1) It won't work properly with XmlHttp
2) The help window still shows an InfoBar on launch, since it's a new IE
instance where our custom security settings don't hold

IIRC, [1] is only a problem if the user runs as a non-admin, as I do, but
this should be more and more common moving forward, so we should consider
fixing it, in my opinion. However, when I disassembled this stuff during
this summer, I came to the conclusion that it was a bug in MSXML, so it's
hard to work around. It's pretty easy to build a similar thing yourself,
though -- the big problem is how to lock it down so it can't be misused to
send user data to a remote server. I'll think about it some more, but maybe
this can be released as-is.

For [2], that's a little tricky. My plan at the time was to build a
DQSD-specific popup manager that would open a new window hosting a new
browser using the same forgiving host we're using to put DQSD in the task
bar. I never finished it properly, but I know more or less how to do it.

Do you guys have any wishes or know about something we should fix?

- Kim
