core:
	inline <style> tags should be dropped. p.p1 for example is
	specified in html here:
	http://www.fringereview.co.uk/pageView.php?pagename=Latitude%20Festival%202011
		note that as this needs to also drop its children, we can't
		just use regex. whether using js remove element function is
		safe (e.g. will not affect original html when toggled) is
		unsure. doesn't look like there's a 'disable' attribute for
		the tag, so it's our best hope.
	consider counting <br />\s<br \> as a <p> as least some blogspot pages need it

chromium:
	generate appid for use in update xml
		see GenerateId in extension.cc of chrome for how it works

gecko:
	use rapper and bourne shell script to sign
		this is difficult as mozilla wants the signature of a very particular serialisation of the update rdf
		https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extension_Versioning,_Update_and_Compatibility#Update_RDF_Format
		openssl dgst -sha512 -binary -sign private.pem web/gecko-updates.rdf i'm pretty sure generates the correct signature. however it then has to be encoded, using asn1/der & base64. also, according to the docs only the hash is signed/hashed, whereas it looks like the whole (particularly serialised) rdf is used by uhura
	make bootstrappable

		this could easily get messy, so might not be worth it.
		startup:
		- add a resource:// alias so scripts can be referenced
		- add simplyread.js and viable.js to all documents
		- add a listener to nsIWindowMediator onOpenWindow.
		- get this listener to inject simplyread.js and viable.js,
		  using their resource:// urls into new documents
		- add a listener to tab changing, to retrigger viable test
		shutdown:
		- remove these two from all documents
		- remove listeners
		- remove any addon bar things
	add fennec support - https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Extensions
		'electrolysis' may require modifications
	bug allow turtle for install.rdf - currently trying errors with:
		Firefox could not install this item because
		"install-whb..rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed
		or does not exist. Please contact the author about this
		problem.
		and this in the error console:
		Error: not well-formed
		Source File: file:///tmp/install-whb..rdf
		Line: 1, Column: 1
		Source Code:
		@prefix rdf:  <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>.

change the short description to something more readable like "makes webpages more readable" or "removes distractions from webpages"

test:
	current tests
		test the keyboard shortcut, by sending an event;
			e=document.createEvent(...
			e.initEvent(...
			e.keyCode = ...
			document.body.dispatchEvent(e)
		window.close directly after logging to the console
	make tests for chromium and firefox engines

# wishlist #

gecko:
	it would be nice to use the svg icon directly (smaller, faster, neater)
		firefox doesn't render the font correctly (can't find bug; test more then report it)
		doesn't automatically set the size (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583231#c31 - may be workaroundable by setting class of the image to toolbarbutton-1)
		doesn't work for main addon icon (only toolbar) (can't find bug; test more then report it)
	get working with firefox mobile https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Extensions

chromium:
	it would be nice to use the svg icon directly (smaller, faster, neater)
		currently not supported (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=29683)
	would be nice to have permission warning reflect the fact that no disk or network activity is done; that this is self-contained and lovely. unfortunately it isn't fine-grained enough, and we need all "tabs" permission to inject the script into any page
