I have a difficult problem and I'm sorry to post such a general question to
the dev list but I dont expect to find an answer elsewhere, and I'm hoping a
javascript master may have some creative solution.

The library of congress is unifying it's search process, it's a 'heavy'
javascript solution, and jquery is being used.  Originally objtree.js was
used to transform the xml messages (getting json is unfortunately not an
option currently).  Profiling showed I was getting a heavy hit in objtree so
I made some minor modifications to jquery.xslt.js to setup a simple
client-side xslt pipeline.  the good news it works in ff2/3 - ie5/6/7 -
opera9/10 but chrome1/2 and safari9/10 fail for content delivered from 3 of
6 targets.  the 3 failure targets use consistent utf-8 encoding
surprisingly.  I found the following:

In the webkit engine there was, or is, apparently a problem parsing
javascript with some utf-8 characters:

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2015
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=176

This is apparently fixed though I still experience the problem.  The
important point is the javascript is generated from xml on the client with
xslt, no errors, clean utf-8, but parsing it fails with an unhelpful
'unexpected_token ILLEGAL'.  I'm sort of tearing out my hair out but have
plenty of other things to keep me busy.  Has anyone else run into issues
with a clever solution?

Again, apologies for a post not specific to the dev of jquery, just hoping
someone with more experience has an idea.

Thanks
Thatcher
