    This did help a little, yes.  However what they consider word boundaries
is suspect.

    I actually see it the other way around.  The SLB was rammed through
because of checkbox marketing.  In one of the comments I cited it is
explained that this should put Firefox above IE and Safari in
functionality and they are trying to match Opera's functionality in the
same area.  Generally I find that non-sensible checkboxitus is often the
result of marketing concerns more than programming concerns.  ;)
