Hello,

I have a use case for a textarea with a Twitter-style character countdown from 
some specifiable limit.  Specifically:

1.  Text area with a character limit count somewhere nearby.
2.  Count decreases by one for each character typed.
3.  Count decreases by the total length of anything pasted in.
4.  Excess content is not prevented, but the count goes negative.

Basically, I'm describing exactly (New)Twitter's widget.  (I want to use it for 
SMS message content.)

So, here's me as an optimist: does anyone have or know of a WOComponent that 
does exactly this that I can just drop right in?  :-)  Failing that, I'm not up 
to speed on Twitter's API or, in particular, exactly what parts of their UI are 
re-usable—does anyone know if this widget is freely usable in any form?  
Failing that, can anyone recommend a good Javascript implementation of 
something like this, preferably _not_ using JQuery (as I want to just drop it 
into pages already using Ajax.framework)?

Failing all of those, I'll write one myself.
