Yes, but...  Even WITH relative links such as I have
on my sites, I've seen no need of this toolbar.   Sites so
hard to navigate that I need this are not likely to hold my
attention.

A tool that only works with a "standard" not adhered to ANYWHERE
is not very useful IMHO. 

And to have the first release be so universally and obviously
broken hasn't improved my opinion of it in the least.
(With apologies to all who slaved over its creation).
