But we've had disk quotas before that mostly worked? If anything it seems an easier problem than processor time. I recall disk quotas on shared systems at university back in 1998 and I'm sure they existed before that. Two threshol

Excellent to have some calculated numbers! Two thoughts: 1) Possibly the road could be rearranged to allow travel only in one direction, freeing up at least 1 extra lane? 2) It might be possible to get some of the bigger 50 or 80 capacity t

So slots appear to be like text frames that the content flows through? That would be a useful extension if it got more widespread usage. The thought that occurs to me though is whether this will appear in webkit at some stage or if it is ju
