Super interesting. How does this compare to Xopus? https://xopus.com/ Of course, Xopus is closed source, so that's a big difference already.

Excellent, really cool. On OSX, this is what AppleScript and Automator should have been. Would it be possible to tap into GUI applications via OSX UI Scripting, and maybe mirroring the app's menus with Wiki menus?

It also breaks two OSX defaults: - spacebar on a highlighted item should select it - the select menu should open on mousedown, not mouseup. Otherwise, it's a very nice piece of work.

The idea of compound images is really interesting, although it would require an extra HTTP request to fetch the hight-DPI portion of the image. But maybe less of a problem over SPDY? The idea truncatable bitstreams is fascinating too. I'm n

I'm afraid this boat has long sailed. The "pixel" term is in the CSS 2.1 Spec. It's set in stone. Personally I've made peace with it. I say either "CSS pixels" or "device pixels", depending on what I want to express. And although the high r
