Hmmm, anybody have any opinions?

I don't want to end up with a superfat everything included version, 
simply because many people just want things like the section 
attribute fixed. I certainly won't put in the Pentium patch, since I 
don't have a pentium, and I wouldn't be happy about putting something 
on the page I can't fully test!

Well, if everyone wants it in there, I'll put it in. 

At the moment, I'm only planning on applying the attribute 
((section)) patch.
